The problem with the extension is that it assumes if no price is given on the site, it is free and should show the download button. However, the Play Store Markup changed to always display the tag and use zero for free apps instead of no price at all.

Just change line 17 in google_play.js in the extensions js folder to:
showButton = !price || price.getAttribute("content") == 0;

After the change, disable and reenable the extension for Chrome to catch up on the change.

On Mac OS X the extensions are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/. It's one extension per folder with rather cryptic folder names. The APK downloader is one of those.

On windows google_play.js file is at

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Extensions/jdpglblnnaocjhfenhockgamhoogihfi/2.0.0_0/assets/js

I have changed now to this line as you wrote, and have disabled and reenabled this extension and now is working without problems. Tnx .

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but if that is chrome stable then extensions not from the store are blocked,you will need to use chrome beta or canary

Chrome beta blocks them too. You need to be on the Chrome dev channel or canary

No, no you dont, to install extensions not from the chrome addon site;

1) Tick the box that says developer mode in the extensions page
2) drag the .crx file over the part that says "Load unpacked extension.. Pack extension"
3) Done

On what version did this work for you? I had been on the Chrome Beta channel for years and a few weeks ago any extension that wasn't from the store was irrevocably disabled. Maybe a week after that I ran into the same issue with Chrome at work which was on the stable channel. It wasn't a matter of installing it, they were installed but could not be disabled. Removing them and adding them in the fashion you described didn't work. I simply ran the installer for the dev channel and it basically upgraded the instillation to that version. All settings and everything remained intact, the only difference I've noticed is more frequent updates.

Strange... Im on Chrome 33.0.1750.146 m and can disable/enable it without any issues, only difference from other extensions is that Chrome says "not from Chrome web store" And thats pretty much the only difference i get with addons from the web store, perhaps its something exclusive to people on the non stable versions of Chrome?

Try manually deleting the folder that the Apk Downloader stays in and then installing it once more, the folder should be here %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Extensions/jdpglblnnaocjhfenhockgamhoogihfi

Theres also been an update to the Apk Downloader that resolves previous issues so try that too.
