Description

Add option for check update if extension installed, I think it will be better than forceDownload.

For redux-devtools-extension, we can get the xml by https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?x=id%3Dlmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd%26uc&prodversion=32 (No response):

Research direction

Start by locating the existing forceDownload option and the installation path for redux-devtools-extension. Use the provided Google update XML endpoint as the reference for the update check; done means the new option controls whether an installed extension is checked without relying on forceDownload.
