title: How to load extension within chrome driver in selenium with python
body: <p>All my efforts to open chrome browser with Browsec extension enabled are failing. Here is what i tried in last -</p>
  <pre><code># Configure the necessary command-line option.
  options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
  options.add_argument(r'--load- 
  extension=C:\Users\lap0042\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User 
  Data\Default\Extensions\omghfjlpggmjjaagoclmmobgdodcjboh')
  
  # Initalize the driver with the appropriate options.
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
  
  driver.get(&quot;http://stackoverflow.com&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>This results in error &quot;Failed to load extension from . Manifest files is missing or unreadable&quot;</p>
  <p>After search for this error I get that Manifest.json file should be renamed to manifest.json.txt but doing this resulted in same error.</p>
  <p>Any help will be highly appreciated</p>
