No mirror positioning
CRX Loader is not a CRX download mirror or scraper.
User-initiated package workflow
CRX Installer for Chrome extension packages
Install and manage Chrome extensions from CRX or ZIP files in a secure loader workspace. Upload a package, review requested permissions, run supported popup/options pages, check updates, and uninstall cleanly.
Built for user-initiated CRX and ZIP installs
CRX Loader is designed for packages you choose. Bring a CRX file, a ZIP package, or a supported install URL, then follow a clear workflow that shows what is happening before, during, and after installation.
Visible permissions
Review requested permissions before continuing.
Local workspace
Keep package state, version, popup/options access, and uninstall controls in one place.
Install, inspect, run, and manage extension packages
CRX Loader turns scattered manual extension workflows into one structured workspace. It supports local uploads, URL installs, permission review, hosted extension pages, update checks, and cleanup when you uninstall.
Install CRX files
Upload a .crx package and install it through a guided workflow.
Install ZIP packages
Work with ZIP extension packages and local builds without manually juggling every file.
Review permissions
See what the package requests and continue only after confirming.
Open popup and options pages
Run supported extension popup and options pages inside hosted containers.
Check updates
Run update checks when the installed package supports them.
Uninstall cleanly
Remove package data and return to an empty workspace.

Useful for offline installs, testing, and packaged extension workflows
Whether you are testing an extension build, working with a CRX file you already have, or organizing an offline Chrome extension install, CRX Loader gives you a more visible workflow than a one-off manual process.
Test packaged builds
Inspect a ZIP or CRX package before using it.
Manage one active package
Keep the current extension package visible and manageable.
Replace repeated manual steps
Use one workspace instead of repeatedly opening developer-mode screens.
Clear data boundaries for a sensitive workflow
CRX Loader stores the data it needs to install and manage the package you choose. It does not sell user data, does not use data for advertising profiles, and keeps the focus on core extension package management.
Local install state
Package files, metadata, version, and runtime state are stored for the workspace.
User-controlled installs
Installation begins only after you choose a package or supported URL.
Permission-aware flow
Optional capabilities are requested only when needed for the package workflow.
