## Chromium Web Store

⚡ Enables installing Chrome Web Store extensions and semi-automatic updates in **Ungoogled Chromium**.

---

### 🧩 Features

- ✅ **Install** extensions from the Chrome Web Store

- 🔄 **Check for updates** to installed extensions

- ⚠️ **View removed or failed extensions**

- 🌍 **Multilingual interface** via `chrome.i18n`

- 🔒 Works with Ungoogled Chromium (no web store login required)

---

### 📥 Installation

1. Open `chrome://flags`  

   Search for `#extension-mime-request-handling` and set it to **Always prompt for install**  

   _(This enables .crx installation prompts)_

2. Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/erffy/chromium-web-store/releases/latest) page  

   Download the latest `store.crx` file — you should be prompted to install it.

> If not prompted, you can also drag & drop the `.crx` file into `chrome://extensions/`

Alternatively, load it manually:

1. Download the repo and unzip it  

2. Open `chrome://extensions/`  

3. Enable **Developer Mode**  

4. Click **"Load unpacked"** and select the folder

### 🛠 How It Works

- Checks installed extensions for available updates

- Displays version changes like: `1.0.2 ⇒ 1.1.0`

- Lets you trigger updates manually

- Highlights removed or failed updates

---

### 🌐 Localization

All interface text is localized using `chrome.i18n`.  

To add a new language:

1. Create a folder in `_locales/` (e.g. `tr`, `fr`)

2. Add a `messages.json` with your translations

---

### 🤔 Why?

Ungoogled Chromium blocks Web Store integration by default.  

This extension restores essential extension management — **manually and transparently.**
