    Extensions are stored at ~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions. Here's an example featuring the amazing adblock:

    jake@daedalus:~$ cd .config/chromium/Default/Extensions/
jake@daedalus:~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions$ ls
gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/  jggheggpdocamneaacmfoipeehedigia/
jake@daedalus:~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions$ cd gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/2.3.1_0/
jake@daedalus:~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/2.3.1_0$ ls
adblock.js        background.html  blacklisting/         button/     functions.js  img/        jquery/    manifest.json  pages/   whitelister.js
adblock_start.js  blacklister.js   broadcast_channel.js  filtering/  Icon.png      Info.plist  _locales/  options/       port.js

    To see it in your file browser, make sure you can see hidden files (View > Show Hidden Files). Or, do like Gaurav says and type in the path after pressing ctl+l.

  2. While the usual profile path for Chromium-based browser is in ~/.config/chromium/<name of profile>

    This is wrong if you under these circumstances:

    • have multiple users in Chromium
    • specified the user profile path in Chromium
    • config folder is different if you're using app containers (snap/Flatpak/AppImage).

    Visit chrome://version/ in your Chrome and check "Profile Path" for the definitive answer.

  3. Type this in Nautilus after pressing "ctrl+L"

    ~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions

  4. They are located in:

    /home/USER_NAME/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/

    Where USER_NAME is your user name.

  5. On the filesystem? In ~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions (a hidden folder inside your home directory).

  6. If you are using Google chrome then look in ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions

  7. It also can be in

    /snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default/Local Extension Settings

    verify where is installed path.

    chrome://version/
