Download chrome extension and extract it

crxdl

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# pip has 2 options for downloading chrome extensions. cedl and chrome-webstore-download
# cedl has a more recent update than chrome-webstore-download 
# but cedl polutes ~/bin by downloading to ~/bin/chrome-extensions so it is not an option without fixing that anti-feature
# chrome-webstore-download downloads to the current directory but requires -u|--url which is annoying but has the
# option to save to a custom filename with -f|--file which could come in handy
# 
# This little script uses chrome-webstore-download to download and extract a chrome extension
#
# Example: crxdl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-cors-access-control/lhobafahddgcelffkeicbaginigeejlf
