User reviews

I've used an extension to download CRX files for years - mostly to save themes. None of them were able to save the ones Microsoft made for Edge, until now! I found that if I pinned this extension to my toolbar, loaded the theme page then clicked on the extension's icon it would let me download the CRX files that way. Being able to just right-click-download an extension link would be easier but this works well enough.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

CRX Downloader requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Request access to the following domains: {{requestedDomains}}
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
  • Medium ****** ********** ** ******** ********** *** ********* ******* ******** ****** ******** ****** ********
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

CRX Downloader is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
