How do I install .crx files without ticking the developer mode box?

Tags: Browser, Google, Software

I was trying to install a custom extension using a .crx file, when I realized that I had to tick the developer box. Is there any way to install my extension without ticking the developer box? I really hope someone can answer this, I can’t find the answer anywhere.

I looked again and this question has been posed and answered before. The answer remains no.

I was able to find this question on the web in many places with the answer.

Install the add-on from the .crx file

In reply to How do I install .crx files without ticking the developer mode box?

To install the add-on from the .crx file, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Extension page in one of three ways:
2. On Chrome browser> Menu> More Tools> Extensions
Menu> Settings> select Extension .
3. In the address bar enter: chrome: // extensions /
4. Open the folder containing the downloaded extension, drag the file straight into this page.
5. A message will appear, asking if you agree to add this add-on to Chrome> select Add extension . Wait a moment for Chrome to finish the job.
