Get a list of installed chrome extensions
Go to chrome://system and click the expand button to the right of the "extensions" row. This provides a comma sorted list of all extensions. You can drag and highlight the list to copy.
This also has the benefit in that it lists on active extensions since installed but deactivated extensions can be ruled out. For a complete list have them activate all extensions they have, refresh the chrome://system page and copy the now updated list.
Is there an easy way for the user to provide me with a list of installed extensions?
You can use BrowserAddonsView from Nirsoft:
BrowserAddonsView is a simple tool that displays the details of all Web browser addons/plugins installed in your system. BrowserAddonsView can scan and detect the addons of most popular Web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. For Chrome and Firefox, BrowserAddonsView detects and scans all Web browser profiles if there are multiple profiles.
Your can sort the output by "Web Browser" and then select the Chrome extensions.
Then either:
"File" > "Save Selected Items" to export to a text file, or
"View" > "HTML Report - Selected Items"
Here is an extract from the text file for my Chrome:

The use of chrome://system is quick, but this extension provides clickable html links, and includes all your disabled extensions. I even has a plain text list of titles and links for enabled and disabled in the page source as comment at the bottom!

Then you can paste those text links into an extension like below that opens them all up. Dont forget you can change the Site Access to On Click for extensions in its chrome settings page if its asking for more permissions than it seems like it needs.
