Chrome – how to find a plugin directory location on Mac

By admin on Jan 26, 2016

It may be useful to look at Chrome plugin code at times for debugging purpose. Chrome plugins are stored in the following directory (for user user1) on Mac:

"/Users/user1/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/"

Each plugin has a directory of its own (e.g. gplegfbjlmmehdoakndmohflojccocli). To find directory for a specific plugin (say PageSpeed) one can look for that name in all manifest.json files. Here is the handy command for that:

$ find ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions -name "manifest.json" -exec grep -H -i "PageSpee" {} \; | grep name
/Users/user1/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/gplegfbjlmmehdoakndmohflojccocli/2.0.4.3_0/manifest.json:   "name": "PageSpeed Insights (by Google)",
