Daniel Roda (ID: 0000005caabe1bba) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/17/2023 La última versión (v1.41) no funciona bien, al dar con el botón derecho en obtener/añadir a Chrome no sale la opción de decargar el CRX. Recomiendo, si se puede, deshabilitar la actualización automática de los complementos o al menos, de éste, y quedarse en la versión 1.40. Si no se puede, descargar la versión 1.40, descomprimirla y añadirla en modo desarrollador para que así no se actualice. Es lo que he tenido que hacer en Slimjet. Tampoco funciona, al menos la versión 1.40 que yo tengo, en la nueva tienda de Chrome. Pero claro, tendría q arriesgarme a actualizarla ahora antes de que en enero de 2024 borren la tienda antigua...
