Correct me if I'm wrong but extensions can still be installed manually correct?

Manifest v2 extensions won't work, the API it needs will be gone soon

Also since 2015, Google has made it VERY hard to install extensions without the web store. This extends to most chrome derivatives as well.

There are workarounds if you use ungoogled-chromium (Method 2 should work with normal chrome as well).

The functionality to run those extensions has been removed, so manual install won't work.
