Apk Downloader Google Chrome New Extension
This original version of this Chromium extension can be found on codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader. Improvements have been made by Bexton. This version is based on apkdownloader-1.3.4.zip as found on xda-developers: [Extension] Updated version of the APK Downloader Chrome Extension. Use that thread for support. This project was started because the 1.3.4 version became broken with Chromium 23 and because I (Lekensteyn) prefer a public git repository to work on code instead of some obscure zip package from a random forum.
The source code is hosted on GitHub. Contributions are welcome
Installation instructions
For security reasons, Chrome does not allow you to install a Chrome extension directly from a random Internet site. This means that installation is not a one-click-install action, but nevertheless the installation process is very trivial:- Download the pre-packaged extension: apk-downloader.crx.
- Click the Settings icon on the right of your URL bar.
- Select Tools > Extensions.
- Once the download has finished, drag the download to the Extensions page.
- When you are asked to Confirm New Extension, press the Add button.
