Alright, someone mentioned accessing manifest through chrome://theme/manifest.json, I just added that you currently can also look at the manifest of extensions through this path. 2 cents, take it or leave it.
Copyrighted material is still copyrighted material. Using it is illegal. Do you really think it is an issue for someone to download an MP3 version of any song they want? It is copyrighted material, but it is easily obtainable. I am not sure mp3.com still works, but when it did, you could have just downloaded the 'streaming mp3' by opening the playlist and get copyrighted material, 128kbps MP3s, easily and for free. Illegal, but easy. You can also disassemble any software and get into its guts. Java is even easier. Almost everything is easily obtainable. But between having it and actually using it in an illegal way, there is a difference. ☆PhistucK On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 13:14, krtulmay <[email protected]> wrote: > >See the manifest without going searching through the files. > > This answer makes no sense at all! > > If I am putting chrome-extension://<substitute_extension_id>/ > manifest.json into the Omnibox, how do I get the extension ID? > > Firstly, I already had to go to chrome://extensions/ to look at the ID > of the extension I am interested in.
