It works fine with the current versions of Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers like Edge), you'll just need to sideload it once it gets removed from the Chrome store. Alternatively, if/when I manage to get it accepted into the Edge store, you could switch to Edge.
- lonelappde 6y agoI thought Google banned sideloading unapproved extensions on Windows and Mac. https://developer.chrome.com/apps/external_extensions https://developer.chrome.com/apps/external_extensions
- kristofferR 6y agoWell, you can enable developer mode, extract the extension, add it manually, re-enable developer mode every time Chrome starts, and manually update to each new version...
- nikodunk 6y agoNo need to re-enable it every time Chrome starts.
- geza 6y agoI meant distribution as a zip file that you can load in developer mode, like the installation instructions for Bypass Paywall ( https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome ). It's not a very user friendly installation process but it still works. But yes, CRX-based sideloading no longer works on Chrome.
- tech234a 6y agoI believe CRX-based sideloading is still a Chromium feature. For example, if I turn on developer mode in Vivaldi, I can drag a CRX onto the extensions page and install it without a problem.
