Hi

$ guix describe
Generation 2 May 11 2019 18:46:50 (current)
guix c087a90
branch: master
commit: c087a90e06d7b9451f802323e24deb1862a21e0f

installed ungoogled-chromium 74.0.3729.131-0.9e33022

downloaded a crx via https://crxextractor.com/
(Apache 2 licensed)

When dropped into the "extensions"-tab I get an error:
"Package is invalid: CRX_HEADER_INVALID"

same with
(gpl-3)

It does not matter whether I enable the "developer-mode"

These work fine on Inox (Chromium 67.0.3396.87 from AUR) on parabola

Marius, does that ring a bell? :-)

Thanks,

I noticed I can use add-ons by installing or updating them with Debian's Chromium and then opening my profile with ungoogled-chromium from Guix. I'd also be surprised if this method of running unpacked extensions didn't work, although I haven't tried it yet: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/tree/master/dist#chromium
