Is it possible to check the code for a Google Chrome extension before installing it?

Google Chrome extensions are zip files with a different extension and some metadata. If you rename them to a . Zip file and extract, you'll be able to get at the Javascript code and HTML behind them.

For more information, refer to the developer documentation. Unfortunately, just because the user can look at the source code, doesn't mean they'll understand it.

Thanks. I had to unzip the file via "unzip" rather than the Mac Archive Utility (which was just creating looped zip files) but it worked. Awesome.

Oh, I agree about your last sentence, but the extension is mostly aimed at developers, so... – Roberto Aloi Jun 24 '10 at 17:53 Incidentally, the same trick works on firefox extensions (however, note that in their case there's multiple layers of zipping) – bdonlan Jun 24 '10 at 19:14.

There's an awesome extension for this very purpose.... https://chrome.google. Com/webstore/detail/bbamfloeabgknfklmgbpjcgofcokhpia.

Thanks. I'll have a look to it. – Roberto Aloi Apr 8 '11 at 9:48.

Looks like you can create a description for your extension. Tell the users about your extension there (they see it when they browse the extensions website), publish your code somewhere and link to it :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
