+#### `ses.loadExtension(path)`
+
+* `path` String - Path to a directory containing an unpacked Chrome extension
+
+Returns `Promise<Extension>` - resolves when the extension is loaded.
+
+This method will raise an exception if the extension could not be loaded. If
+there are warnings when installing the extension (e.g. if the extension
+requests an API that Electron does not support) then they will be logged to the
+console.
+
+Note that Electron does not support the full range of Chrome extensions APIs.
+
+Note that in previous versions of Electron, extensions that were loaded would
+be remembered for future runs of the application. This is no longer the case:
+`loadExtension` must be called on every boot of your app if you want the
+extension to be loaded.
+
+```js
+const { app, session } = require('electron')
+const path = require('path')
+
+app.on('ready', async () => {
+  await session.defaultSession.loadExtension(path.join(__dirname, 'react-devtools'))
+  // Note that in order to use the React DevTools extension, you'll need to
+  // download and unzip a copy of the extension.
+})
+```
+
+This API does not support loading packed (.crx) extensions.
