Where are Chromium extensions stored on Ubuntu Linux?

I'm using the Google Chrome Dev Editor app as a Chromium extension. My platform is Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) with the LXDE desktop. I need to change some basic configuration such as the indentation size but cannot find where the configuration files are stored.

Where are Chromium extensions stored on Ubuntu Linux?

Extensions are stored at ~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions. Here's an example featuring the amazing adblock:

jake@daedalus:~$ cd .config/chromium/Default/Extensions/
jake@daedalus:~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions$ ls
gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/ jggheggpdocamneaacmfoipeehedigia/
jake@daedalus:~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions$ cd gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/2.3.1_0/
jake@daedalus:~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/2.3.1_0$ ls
adblock.js background.html blacklisting/ button/ functions.js img/ jquery/ manifest.json pages/ whitelister.js
adblock_start.js blacklister.js broadcast_channel.js filtering/ Icon.png Info.plist _locales/ options/ port.js

To see it in your file browser, make sure you can see hidden files (View > Show Hidden Files). Or, do like Gaurav says and type in the path after pressing ctl+l.
