If you want to access the source code of a Chrome extension, you need to get the .crx file. This bookmarklet downloads the .crx file for the Chrome extension you're viewing. You'll be prompted to install it; before dismissing the dialog, check in your Downloads directory. Then just unzip the .crx (it's a zip file).

Cheers for this Yang, works a treat since 'save link as' doesn't work anymore.
