Hey,
A few years ago I made this website that can download and inspect chrome extension in memory, so that you don't have to download or install them.
There are some similar tools out there, but I made this one for my self when I needed to review browser extensions. I ended up adding features I needed, such as searching across all files.
I will never add any ads or 3rd party stuff to this site so feel free to use it.
