How to load Base64 encoded Chrome extensions using ChromeOptions and C# binding.

[Tom R]

Hi Guys,

When using DesiredCapabilities.Chrome() I was able to pass base 64 encoded chrome CRX extensions to ChromeDriver using the "chrome.extensions" capability.  Using ChromeOptions it seems that extensions can only be passed by specifying the path of a CRX file or extension folder.

Am I missing something? Is there a work around?

Thanks in advance,

Tom.

You mean to say you want to load extension to a remote WebDriver
(ChromeDriver) similar to what is available to Firefox?

But useful info here, I didn't know you could load Chrome extensions
with the driver locally.

Never mind, my post, misread the question. But still, thanks for the
tip.
