Install Chrome Extensions for Opera

Extensions are a simple and convenient way to customize your browser and add it extra functionality not available by default. Major browsers comes with their own gallery, comprising an impressive number of addons, but not all of them have versions for all the navigators.

Install Chrome Extensions for Opera is an innovative addon created to break the barrier between the Chrome Web Store and the Opera gallery by allowing you to import and install Chrome extensions in Opera.

The main advantage is that the extensions can be installed even if there is no version available for Opera. Practically, the Chrome version of the addon is automatically remade for Opera.

By default, no download option is shown if you try to open a Web Store URL in other browser than Chrome. Once Install Chrome Extensions is installed, a new button automatically appears right next to the address bar (and next to the addon name) when visiting the main page of an extension in the Web Store.

Pressing this button allows you to proceed to the download process, but the extension might automatically be disabled, since Opera does not recognize its source. Enabling it is just a matter of a few clicks, as you simply have to navigate to the Extension Manager section and press the 'Install' button.

When refreshing or re-opening the Web Store page, you notice that the extensions is now 'Added to Opera' and ready for use, just as if you would have installed it from the Opera gallery. Please note that Chrome apps or themes are not supported.

Install Chrome Extensions for Opera can extend the Opera gallery with addons that are found in the Chrome Web Store. It offers PC users who prefer Opera the chance to install an extension built for Chrome into their favorite browser, without having to wait for an Opera version to be released to the public.
