Frequently asked questions

What does CRXLauncher do exactly?

It provides a guided installer experience for packaged extension flows by connecting a web page with an installed browser extension.

Does this work with local CRX or ZIP packages?

Yes. The setup pipeline can handle package download or upload scenarios depending on how the extension flow is configured.

Do users need Developer Mode for this process?

The goal of this flow is to avoid manual Developer Mode steps and move users through an assisted install/setup sequence.

Will the extension setup run automatically?

Setup starts as part of the guided flow once installation is complete and the extension is ready.
