[Security] Ask user before installing extension

Open BlobCodes opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now, any downloaded .crx file is installed automatically. It would be good to first show the user what extension wants to install (with name, icon, permissions, etc).

Describe the solution you'd like A dialog appears, asking the user whether they want to install the application or not.

Describe alternatives you've considered None.

Additional context None.

I'm wondering how I could get the extension's manifest before installing the extension...

@sentialx https://github.com/vladignatyev/crx-extractor/blob/d9af219f968307228c071e1b4dca938af056435e/js/app.js#L70 This code should return you a Buffer of the extension source code, with the manifest.
