getting deeper into chrome extensions

1. Extracting image from chrome theme: If u like any chrome extension's background ..go to chrome directory in windows

{Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Default\Extensions\yourextension}

{Windows 7:%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Default\Extensions\yourextension}

{Linux:~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/yourextension/}

then open the extension you will find images inside the extension....

2. Saving flash video without any extension: We usually want to save some videos but generally go for a software or extension to do it but google chrome saves that video in its cache without any extension like .flv or .mp4 . So u have to try playing the file from cache. Linux reads it well in windows you find some difficulties..
the location in linux is ::
~/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache same for the google chrome replace chromium by google chrome...

in windows search by yourself{sorry}

3. About Pages: The about page of chrome redirect you to its internals. Beware editing any settings. Do only if know what you are doing. Editing may affect  system stability. To open about pages type this in new tab ---[[[about:about]]]..below is the sample screenshot..

The interesting page is about:flags   which shows experimental features of chrome or its extension.
Open and explore. Here is the sample screenshot.
