Thanks for the video. Is it possible to interact with extensions from the test it self? I.e. let's say you have some performance measuring extension and you want to retrieve some data from it.

[@blackgoose1]

hi, did you find out how to interact with the extension? How to open it? please tell me

[@Onyxim]

Hi. No, haven't looked into it.

Hi Mukesh, Get crx of this extension option is not showing up for me...i am trying using win 10 + the latest chrome browser and it is logged in using my personal account...still on the selectorshub (i have already installed) i cant see this get crx option...am i missing anything? i see you are using macOS maybe bcos of that are you getting the option. I googled and got to know that - Downloading CRX files from the Chrome Web Store directly is no longer supported by default.

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi , you need to install this extension in chrome to get crx file of any extension chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-crx/dijpllakibenlejkbajahncialkbdkjc

Please try and let me know if you are still not getting this option.

[@angelg3986]

This shows how to add extension, but not how to "automate" it - e.g. how to click on extension button or call a function from the extension.
