- Find the folder it is in. e.g. click the chrome 3-dots, then "more tools" => "Extensions", and long gibberish code it gives, then search your disk for that folder name in your file system.
- Copy that folder to a different place on your hard drive (e.g. click on the folder, then Ctrl-C, then open your "Documents" folder, then Ctrl-V
- Uninstall the extension. You need to get rid of the one that will auto-update first.
- Load the version you copied: e.g. click the chrome 3-dots, then "more tools" => "Extensions" and click the "load unpacked" button.
