HOW TO INSTALL A ZIPPED BROWSER EXTENSION ========================================== STEP 1: UNZIP THE FILE ---------------------- Before doing anything in your browser, you must "unzip" the folder: 1. Right-click the .zip file and select "Extract All" (Windows) or double-click it (Mac). 2. Move the resulting folder to a safe place (like your Documents folder). Note: If you delete or move this folder later, the extension will break. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 2: INSTALL IN YOUR BROWSER ------------------------------- FOR GOOGLE CHROME: 1. Open Chrome and type: chrome://extensions/ into the address bar. 2. In the top-right, turn the "Developer mode" toggle to ON. 3. Click the "Load unpacked" button in the top-left. 4. Select your unzipped folder and click "Select Folder." FOR MICROSOFT EDGE: 1. Open Edge and type: edge://extensions/ into the address bar. 2. In the bottom-left sidebar, turn "Developer mode" to ON. 3. Click the "Load unpacked" button at the top. 4. Select your unzipped folder and click "Select Folder." FOR MOZILLA FIREFOX: *Note: This is a temporary install and will reset if you close Firefox.* 1. Open Firefox and type: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox 2. Click "Load Temporary Add-on..." 3. Open your unzipped folder and select the "manifest.json" file. 4. Click "Open." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TROUBLESHOOTING: - If you see "Manifest file missing," you are likely selecting the main unzipped folder when there is actually another folder inside it. Try clicking one level deeper into the folders. - If the browser warns you about "Developer Mode," this is normal for manual installs. You can safely ignore or click "Cancel" on the alert.
