For one, they had a slightly different file size which is obviously a bad sign if it is the same file download.

The download directory was listing the crx file downloads, but attempts to install the extensions in Chrome revealed that they appeared to be corrupt. Turned out, I received the same error messages when trying to install extensions in the browser too. I fired up Chrome Canary, another version of Chrome that I use rarely to see if I was able to install extension in the browser. Somehow Chrome was not download an extension file, which do have the crx file extension, but something else. I did receive the same error message which puzzled me. Reloading did not fix the issue, neither did a restart of the browser, and next thing I tried was to install another extension from the official web store to see if it did install in Chrome. The message below that stated that the download was not a CRX. When I tried to install a Google Chrome extension in the latest dev version of the web browser I was notified that an error had occured.
