Like everything else, chrome extensions get updated to their newer version. Most of the time developers fix something or add new features to extensions. But sometimes newer versions couldn’t do justice, and you can’t help but use the newer version, there may be a couple of reasons for you to go back for the older version of a Chrome extension.
Google does not offer older Versions of Chrome, in the name of Security. You may find older versions on The Chromium Project, although the version may differ slightly on the last number component. You may have a look at some Chrome clones. For example, Slimjet is a Webbrowser based on Chrome does provide some older versions of Chrome.
But here is the problem, you can’t downgrade a Chrome extension to its older version from Chrome web store. As the store only contains the latest version of the extensions.

How to Downgrade Chrome Extension
So how you’ll find the older version of a Chrome extension and install it to your Chrome browser? This is a detailed how-to guide that is going to help you in that case. Let’s see where to find older Chrome extensions and how to install them, let’s get started.
So I’ve decided this guide into these segments to help you downgrade a chrome extension of your choice.
Step 1. Uninstall the extension (latest version)
Sounds easy, head over to Chrome Settings > Extensions and remove the extension. Or you can directly right click on the extension’s icon from the top-right area and select remove from chrome. Alternatively, type chrome://extensions/ in the address bar to open the extension manager page and click on the trash icon to remove that particular extension or app.
Step 2. Download older version of the extension
So there are a few archive websites that keep a catalog of Chrome extensions by a version number. An archive site is crx.dam.io which stores chrome extension in zip file format.
Alternative: https://crxdown.com/
Visit the site press Ctrl+f and search for the extension you’re looking for, if you find it, download the appropriate version file, which is basically will be a zip file. Save it your computer and enable “show file extensions” from the folder option.
Rename .zip with .crx as it’s chrome supported file type and sites should not host .crx (installable) files on their servers. To open this file format off, you will need to get the help of additional software like Winrar. However, you do not need to extract this file but only have to change its extension. This is required in the process of downgrading the Chrome extension to get back to an older version.
Step 3. Install it
Open Chrome, head to the Extensions page, and drag the .crx file inside the extensions tab. It will ask for confirmation, accept that. The chrome extension should be installed, and you can use it in the way before. Now to check the version go to extensions page to confirm you’ve successfully installed the version as you were supposed.

Fix this can only be added from the web store error: Open the extension with a 7zip and extract it then delete any “_metadata” file or folder then use the load unpacked extension.

When it’s clean, chrome glimmers—there’s no other word for it. The downside? Chrome succumbs fairly easily to surface blemishes, and while these blotches and streaks do catch the eye, it’s for all the wrong reasons. Compared with other common household materials, even different types of metal, chrome is not especially difficult to clean. More than anything else, persistence is the key to keeping chrome looking its best. For tips on making your chrome shine, check out the suggestions below.
Soap and Water
One of the most effective ways to clean chrome is also one of the simplest. Add dish soap to a bucket of warm water, dip a soft cloth or nonabrasive sponge into the solution, then get to work scrubbing the chrome. As you go along, rinse the cloth or sponge frequently in order to dispel the dirt that has begun to loosen and break free from the metal. To clean any creases or crevices you come across in the chrome, opt for an old toothbrush; the bristles can work the soapy water into areas you wouldn’t be able to reach otherwise. Finish up by rinsing the metal with clean water in order to eliminate any residual traces of soap that remain on the chrome.

Vinegar
More potent than dish soap is distilled white vinegar. Using a one-to-one ratio, mix the vinegar with plain old tap water, then apply the solution by means of a cloth or nonabrasive sponge. Again, use a toothbrush for any hard-to-reach areas. Remember that vinegar works so well on account of its acidity, which dissolves even long-established grime. So as not to dilute its strength, take care not to mix the vinegar with too great a volume of water.
Avoiding Damage
The methods discussed here involve neither harsh chemicals nor heavy-duty cleaning tools. That’s because chrome is a soft metal. It can be scratched even by a scouring pad, so avoid the temptation to use a sharp edge on stubborn stains. Also, if you’re intent on using a commercial cleanser, be sure that its label says the product is suitable for chrome.
Now that you’ve done a thorough job of cleaning, you can either call it a day or go one step further to leave the chrome with an impressive shine. Interested? Two words: chrome polish. You can find it at most auto stores, or you can buy it online. Different polishes require different application processes, so closely follow the directions listed on the container of polish you decide to purchase. Now, instead of noticing fingerprint smudges, you’ll be seeing your reflection in the newly gleaming chrome.
