I'm editing some extensions source codes, to create better or other extentions, some have a license file to tell you what you can do but many do not have, all i can see is a comment saying: all rights reserved by example.com so can i modify these extensions or not?

Even though Chrome extensions' source code are accessible by the public, it doesn't mean all Chrome extensions are open source.
Goto chrome://about and click on chrome://system and then expand extensions. 'Export links' is still the fastest method in bulk, but this is useful in case you want to copy just one or two, or avoiding are download.
If you want to export Chrome extensions manually, you have to enable 'Developer mode' in the browser and pack the extension in a CRX file. CRX is a file that Chrome automatically downloads and installs when you add an extension.
We strongly recommend that new extensions target Manifest V3. Extensions are small software programs that customize the browsing experience. They enable users to tailor Chrome functionality and behavior to individual needs or preferences. They are built on web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
Chrome extension source code can be viewed but it can still be under a copyright license. Need to ask the extension owner about the license details.

Every Chrome Extension gives the user the following rights by default:
5.2 You grant to the user a non-exclusive, worldwide, and perpetual license to perform, display, and use the Products and any content contained in, accessed by, or transmitted through the Products in connection with Google Chrome. If you choose, you may include a separate end user license agreement (EULA) in your Product that will govern the user’s rights to the Products in lieu of the previous sentence.
Read the whole agreement here: http://developer.chrome.com/webstore/terms
Beyond that you will need to speak to the developer in question. Annoyingly the Google store does not display license terms for each Extension by default.
