Chrome extension download URL changed: Unable to download the CRX file #5

Seems like the Chrome extension download URL has been changed and ced does not work at the moment. New query parameter is required: acceptformat=crx2,crx3.

Here is some discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7184793/how-to-download-a-crx-file-from-the-chrome-web-store-for-a-given-id/14099762#14099762

Current ced generated URL which does not work:

https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&prodversion=38.0&x=id%3Dlmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd%26installsource%3Dondemand%26uc

Working URL with acceptformat=crx2,crx3:

https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&prodversion=38.0&acceptformat=crx2,crx3&x=id%3Dlmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd%26uc

Seems like there is also an issue with extracting the downloaded crx file because the format has changed: https://gromnitsky.blogspot.com/2019/04/crx3.html.

Hello, I don't plan on working on this project anymore. Please use https://robwu.nl/crxviewer (https://github.com/Rob--W/crxviewer) instead. Thank you.
