While the Chrome Web Store aims to make installing new extensions seamless, under the hood it’s really distributing these crx files with the extension’s code. Notably, password-protected 7z files are not yet supported.Īnyone who has ever developed a Chrome Extension should recognize the crx format. Some people choose to use 7z files instead of standard zip archives to create smaller files for sharing and storing.
First up, there’s new support in ChromeOS for the 7z format, which is an archive format originating in the 7-Zip program. In its initial form, it’s now possible to open three new archive formats on your Chromebook. Nearly a year later, that feature has now begun to arrive, starting with May’s update to ChromeOS 101. Last July, we were first to report that Google was working on a new way for the Files app in ChromeOS to be able to view and extract files from quite a few different formats. ChromeOS is now more powerful for managing files, with new support for archive formats like 7z, iso, and tar - with more on the way.
