Install Custom Chrome Extension

You can create a custom Chrome extension and install it on the virtual browser. Both zip and crx file formats are supported. A few gotchas:

• The content-type is multipart/form-data rather than application/json
• The body field must be set to the JSON request data
• The field you passed into {“extension”: “foo”} must contain the path to the extension file and the file’s MIME type, separated by a semi-colon
  • For example, {“extension”: “a”} and —form ‘a=@/path/to/ext.crx;application/x-chrome-extension
