Can cromium-web-store replace Brave and other browsers' extension management? #151

Recently I have become frustrated with some management practices by other web browsers. While I use Ungoogled Chromium for my main browser, Coherence X is great at compartmentalizing browsing sessions by various topics or needs. I would like to have better control over browsers' management of extensions when using such instances, but it seems that it may not be possible... It would be great to disable regular browser extension management and just use your extension to handle things.

Unfortunately this extension relies heavily on modifications done by ungoogled chromium. Without the #extension-mime-request-handling flag you would not be able to install CRX files directly. Furthermore, I believe vanilla Chrome fully blocks any .crx downloads that aren't from the chrome web store so you would have difficulty even installing extensions manually with Load unpacked (not sure if chromium has this same behavior).
