Where are Chome extension .crx bundles stored on OS X?

I've looked in the following places for files with crx extensions:

/Library/Caches/*
/Library/Application Support/Google/*
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/*

Anyone know where they are stored?

In your user data directory, inside the "Extensions" directory. Every extension has its own directory. And you will find the actual files, not the CRX (a CRX is simply a ZIP file).

Could someone send me the .crx file for chrome remote desktop for mac os x?

My gf can't download it on her mac, and I don't have a mac. Only have windows.

Or any other way to be able to install the extension on her mac, through file. Because the extension doesn't add on her chrome os x browser.

Cheers!

It is the same CRX for all of the platforms (which is why it is so large...).

This should always contain a direct link to the latest version -

(The "codebase" attribute has the URL.)
