Please enable installation of .crx extensions that are not from Chrome Webstore

I understand why Brave Browser will not allow for the manual installation of extensions not from the Chrome Web Store. However, there is an excellent extension called AdNauseam that clicks every ad to confuse tracker networks. However, It has been banned from the Chrome Web Store for being too effective. So why not allow the manual installation of .crx extensions into the Brave Browser after the user has read a short warning on the risks. Or better yet, just implement its source code directly into brave itself.

at least give us an option in brave://flags/ for advanced users to disable this functionality
