    I'm being told to 'unpack' an extension I have downloaded. What can this mean?

        Jeez, Durrinn. Just tell her how. If she doesn't know what a zip file is, she won't understand this explanation at all.

        It could just mean 'unzipping' it.

        What kind of 'extension' is it? Like a web browser extension?

        You need to identify and catalog the myriad ways this file benefits from privilege.

        It usually means that the files are compressed. Compressed files r less bytes -> they're faster to download -> less load for hosting servers

        So u have to unpack it like some people have explained. You can use the free unzipper program called 7zip for instance

        I need to download something else to unpack the file to the extension which I have to apply to google chrome somehow to use search?

        Stop using the word "unpack" unless you're actually talking about luggage, you pretentious douches.
