The problem of Chrome Extensions security is well-known. Extensions have enormous power, because they allowed to access history and cookies of your browser and even change the content of the page you see. This opens a huge amount of vectors for fishing attacks, cookie stuffing and even spyware, opening up opportunities for malicious code to exploit your network resources.

Attackers can track your behaviour in Internet and your geolocation as well. They can steal your Facebook account or authentication cookies for online banking site you trust.

The fact that the .crx format documented doesn't make it easy to manipulate. That's why this tool was created.

If you get Chrome Extension source code from .crx, you get unchained in researching it's behaviour, find a malicious code, and easily learn from code to build better user experiences and improve Chrome browser use cases and defend yourself.
