Chromium Web Store

⚡ Enables installing Chrome Web Store extensions and semi-automatic updates in Ungoogled Chromium.


🧩 Features

  • Install extensions from the Chrome Web Store
  • 🔄 Check for updates to installed extensions
  • ⚠️ View removed or failed extensions
  • 🌍 Multilingual interface via chrome.i18n
  • 🔒 Works with Ungoogled Chromium (no web store login required)

📥 Installation

  1. Open chrome://flags
    Search for #extension-mime-request-handling and set it to Always prompt for install
    (This enables .crx installation prompts)

  2. Go to the Releases page
    Download the latest store.crx file — you should be prompted to install it.

If not prompted, you can also drag & drop the .crx file into chrome://extensions/

Alternatively, load it manually:

  1. Download the repo and unzip it
  2. Open chrome://extensions/
  3. Enable Developer Mode
  4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the folder

🛠 How It Works

  • Checks installed extensions for available updates
  • Displays version changes like: 1.0.2 ⇒ 1.1.0
  • Lets you trigger updates manually
  • Highlights removed or failed updates

🌐 Localization

All interface text is localized using chrome.i18n.
To add a new language:

  1. Create a folder in _locales/ (e.g. tr, fr)
  2. Add a messages.json with your translations

🤔 Why?

Ungoogled Chromium blocks Web Store integration by default.
This extension restores essential extension management — manually and transparently.
