Error when downloading CRX file from Chrome Web Store: CRX_HEADER_INVALID [closed]

When i get any CRX extension file by the following link:

https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&prodversion=49.0&x=id%3D<EXTENSION_ID>%26installsource%3Dondemand%26uc

on Chrome version 73.0.3683.86 i get CRX_HEADER_INVALID error with any ID on Web Store, however on older Chrome versions it's okay.

Besides, i can download a CRX file by third-party site, but when i add it at chrome://extensions/ i also get CRX_HEADER_INVALID error.

All of this applies when i work with latest version of Chrome. Does anyone know what's the problem?
