Description

Manually installing .crx extension files can be complex and risky — requiring Developer Mode and manual steps that aren’t always secure. CRXLauncher provides a safer, streamlined alternative by handling installations in a controlled, sandboxed environment with full permission transparency. ⭐Key Features ★Easy Upload to Install Just select your .crx file — no need to drag and drop. ★Permission Transparency Smartly scans and displays all required permissions before installation. ★Safe & Private No tracking, no background scripts, and no unnecessary access. ★Cross-Browser Compatible Works with Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera — any Chromium-based browser. ⭐How It Works • Select a .crx extension file from your device. • Review permissions clearly shown before any installation happens. • Approve only if you’re comfortable — nothing installs without your go-ahead. • Install the extension in just a click — no Developer Mode required. ⭐Perfect For: • Extension Developers testing their own builds • Power Users installing from trusted sources • Teams & Orgs deploying internal or private tools Note: CRXLauncher does not upload or store your extensions. Everything happens locally in your browser.

I had to reinstall this to leave a review. This extension, for some reason, every time i search anything on google redirects the search to yahoo and its really annoying. Don't install this if you care about actually using your web browser.

This extension appears to be malicious. Just try doing a google search with it enabled, then turn it off and do another search and notice how much quicker the results appear. I'm pretty sure it's scraping all the results and "phoning home" to sell your info.

After installing this plugin, I noticed that my browser constantly refreshes a certain website, and it only returns to normal until I stop using the plugin.

Hello There, I would like to report this browser extension that appears to pose a serious security and privacy risk. The extension is requesting the following permissions: Ability to read and change all data on all websites Ability to display notifications Granting these permissions would allow the extension to: Access sensitive information such as browsing history, login credentials, cookies, and payment details entered on websites. Modify or inject content into web pages, potentially enabling phishing, ad injection, or malicious redirection. Push unwanted or misleading notifications to the user. This level of access is far beyond what is necessary for normal functionality and could expose users to data theft or manipulation. The extension does not appear to come from a trusted source, and its behavior raises concerns about user safety. I recommend that Microsoft investigate this extension, review its compliance with Edge Add-ons policies, and take appropriate action to protect users. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards,

FileCR Assistant requests very broad permissions, including access to http://*/* (all HTTP sites) plus browser notifications. This is a red flag because it can potentially allow an extension to read and modify what you see on many websites, which security guidance often flags as “excessive permissions” when not strictly necessary for the feature set. ​ With wide site access, a compromised or abused extension could potentially observe browsing activity or interact with pages in risky ways, which is why extension security research consistently warns about over-privileged extensions. Also, FileCR is widely associated with pirated/cracked software distribution, which increases the overall risk profile (even if the extension itself appears to work as intended). Bottom line: I’d avoid installing it on a primary browser/profile. If someone insists on using it, it’s safer to isolate it (separate profile/VM) and avoid logging into important accounts while it’s enabled

We should not need to allow access to ALL SITES!! edit settings and allow https://filecr.com/ ONLY.

I installed it in both Edge and Chrome and it keeps stressing me out with its installation. I'm going to uninstall it because it's the same thing.

Be aware: This extension manipulates Google search results by adding five ad links to the top of the page. This deceptive practice pushes the real search results down, degrading the browsing experience. It's a shameful way to monetize a product.

This extension isn’t safe. It modifies your search results on Google and other websites and injects its own ads. If it were safe, the code would be open source, but it’s not. It likely does more with your personal data than it admits, so install it at your own risk.

When the extension is downloaded, the FileCR website still fails to recognize it, even after clearing cookies and reinstalling. This issue has been ongoing for a while, and FileCR has yet to resolve it.

A pirated software website named "FileCr" are forcing their users to install this extension on their web browsers to download files. People are downloading this extension without knowing the power and access this extension will have over their browser. I'm asking Google to take down this extension. Big Big security risk.
