The Google Chrome Web Store seems like a disaster to me. I cannot make sense of it.
How can you sort extensions by popularity? By rating? By amount of downloads? By newest? By recently updated?
Am I completely overlooking something?

I have created a simple sorter js which works on Chrome Dev tools console. You can reach the GitHub page here.
It mainly sorts the extensions on the Chrome Web Store. It runs on Chrome Dev Tools console which is started by Ctrl+Shift+I.
After opening the search extensions page on the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/PHRASE?_category=extensions with your search phrase replaced by PHRASE. And than the code under sorter.js is run on the chrome dev cosole.
It firstly loads all the extensions on the infinitly-scroll page by automatically scroll the page until not scroll. Then it sorts them by number of votes.
var i = 0;
var num_of_items = 0;
var stop = false;
function startCheck(max)
{
i++;
//document.querySelectorAll('div.h-a-Kd.a-Hd-mb')[0];
var bottom = document.querySelectorAll('div.h-a-Hd-mb.a-Hd-mb')[0];
bottom.scrollIntoView();
//scrollTo(scrollX,scrollY+1000);
console.log(i.toString());
var items = document.querySelectorAll('.a-d-na.a-d.webstore-test-wall-tile.a-d-zc.Xd.dd');
var new_num_of_items = items.length;
if (num_of_items != new_num_of_items)
{
num_of_items = new_num_of_items;
console.log('Loaded items : ' + new_num_of_items);
}
if (i>max || stop)
{
i = 0;
num_of_items = 0;
stop = false;
items[new_num_of_items-1].scrollIntoView(false);
sortsort();
return;
}
var t = setTimeout(function (){startCheck(max);}, 100);
}
var MAX_COUNT = 25;
var counter = 0;
function stopCheck()
{
var spin = document.querySelectorAll('div.h-a-Kd.a-Hd-mb')[0];
var state_new = spin.attributes.style.value == "display: none;"
if (state_new)
counter++;
else
counter=0;
console.log('Counter : ' + counter);
if (counter > MAX_COUNT)
{
counter = 0;
stop = true;
return;
}
var t = setTimeout(function (){stopCheck();}, 100);
}
var sortsort = function() {
var ab = document.querySelectorAll('.a-d-na.a-d.webstore-test-wall-tile.a-d-zc.Xd.dd');
console.log(ab.length);
var ab_arry = Array.from(ab);
var index_str;
var star_str;
ab_arry.forEach((star) => {
index_str = star.attributes.hasOwnProperty("index") ? Number(star.attributes.index.value.toString().replace(/,/g, '')) : 0
star_str = star.getElementsByClassName("nAtiRe").length > 0 ? Number(star.getElementsByClassName("nAtiRe")[0].textContent.toString().replace(/,/g, '')).toString() : "Not voted";
console.log( index_str + " = >>>> " + star_str);
});
ab_arry.sort(function (a,b) {
var a_star = a.getElementsByClassName("nAtiRe").length > 0 ? Number(a.getElementsByClassName("nAtiRe")[0].textContent.toString().replace(/,/g, '')) : 0;
var b_star = b.getElementsByClassName("nAtiRe").length > 0 ? Number(b.getElementsByClassName("nAtiRe")[0].textContent.toString().replace(/,/g, '')) : 0;
return (b_star - a_star);
});
let row_nodes = document.querySelectorAll('.h-a-x > [role="grid"] > [role="row"]');
var row_nodes_arry = Array.from(row_nodes);
var sr;
for (var rr = 0; rr < row_nodes_arry.length; rr++)
{
sr_start = rr * 3;
var msg = rr.toString() + ' <--- ';
for (var sr = sr_start; sr < sr_start + 3 && sr < ab_arry.length ; sr++)
{
msg += '1:' + sr + ' ';
row_nodes_arry[rr].appendChild(ab_arry[sr]);
}
console.log(msg);
}
}
startCheck(3000);
stopCheck();
There isn't much to do, but here's the little things that you can do:
I found a way to sort extensions by 'recently updated' in a slightly roundabout way by using Google:
For example, I was looking for recent jQuery addons:
the results will include both recently added and updated addons
