In my Google Chrome browser "Spell checker and Grammar checker by Ginger" add-ons installed.
It's very important add-on for me, to improve and correct spelling as well as grammar.
But now Author has been deleted this Add-on.
How can I backup installed add-on. So I'll restore this add-on in future.
All your Google Chrome Extensions (Add-ons) can be found on your local computer in the %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions folder. (Windows)
[On linux, Chrome extensions are stored in:~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/]
All you have to do is make a copy of this folder and it's contents on an USB device or on a seperate folder on your hard disk.
To restore your Extensions copy everything back to this very same folder.
You should be careful however and be aware that as Google keeps updating Chrome your older extensions may lose compatibility.
Here's a link for a bit more thorough description but it's really simple so I guess it shouldn't be much of a problem.
Use Backup and Restore Google Chrome Offline to copy Google Chrome data and extension between computers without a Google Account and without Internet.

As I know you can install an extension outside the market without expected limitations, for example, autoupdate. You need to be in develop mode.
You can read this thread to understand the problem:
Install chrome extension as external extensions
The think is, anyone know another way to install an extension in your chrome (internal use in a company o class). I like to think that I can sign the extension with a shared certificate or something like that. And send the extension to the users.
Google no longer allows it.

There are 4 types of extension install still available:
Direct installation from Webstore or inline install from a website, but hosted on Web Store.
Indirect installation through registry manipulation (e.g. companion extension for a native app), but it still must be hosted in the Webstore.
Local development installs; will nag on every Chrome restart and no autoupdate mechanism.
For Enterprise only, policy-based installs. Note that on Windows that requires computers joined to a domain. In this case there are no restrictions on where the extension is hosted.
I have a problem getting a chrome extension to work on Windows 10 Technical Preview. I have this extension hosted in Chrome Web store. However when my i run the .exe on my pc, which is supposed to install a client on the pc and an extension on chrome, i cannot see the extension in the chrome extensions.
But when i use the developer version of chrome, i can see the browser prompting me to accept/disable the extension.
What am i missing here? I am pretty new to chrome plugins. Any suggestion/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Google Chrome (unfortunately) no longer allows private or local crx files to be installed as extensions. You must host it on the Google Chrome app store. From within the store you can make it private to a specific domain, or limit the app to only those within a Google group (they must use their Google account for access to the install).
Deployment of plugins that work within our intranet has suddenly become a major pain. I'm really surprised they couldn't come up with a better solution for this.

My company's firewall doesn't allow the built-in updater to communicate with the Internet to fetch the updates and extensions, and USB drives are disabled by default.
Is there a way to manually download extensions such as the Weka integration as a .zip file?
I think you are looking for this file. I have got this link from this site: http://www.knime.org/downloads/update
You might know that the proxy settings can help in installing the extensions (though the antivirus/content filtering might prevent downloading zip/jar files). This answer is probably already seen.
How do I go about creating and distributing a custom Chromium web browser? It should be identical to the Google version except that some extensions are pre-installed. It should still get updates off the chrome stable channel.
If you are a system administrator and want to do some custom Chrome[ium] deployments for all employees you should read this document.
There is a guide for pre-installing extensions and web apps as well.
Chrome doesn't have provisions to do this.
Extensions are installed per-user in their User Data directory.
If you have the liberty to do so, you could create a fresh user directory, install the desired extensions, then package up and ship that user directory as the default one.
I'm writing a Google Chrome app that stores things locally with the HTML5 FileSystem API. Is there any way to use Windows Explorer to get to the directory where Chrome stores these files or is it entirely virtual and inaccessible from outside the app? I haven't been able to find the directory by poking around nor have I seen any reference online to it.
I suppose I could just write something within the app to allow me GUI management of the files my app stores or just use the developer console, but it would really be a time saver to use WE.
Nevermind, I just found it. For anyone looking, it's in (on my windows 7 machine at least)
C:\Users\ user \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\File System
Also note that this was in Chrome 11, in Chrome 13 there were some changes to the FileSystem (probably for security) that make it very difficult to find specific files by scrolling through the files in Chrome's AppData space.
