Installation

Built extensions can be found in the newly-generated build directory. You can side-load the unpacked extension in order to run it in your browser. Please refer to your browser's extension installation guide for details.

If you are using the zip file from github releases:

• Chromium Based Browsers: Navigate to chrome://extensions/, enable developer mode, and drag the zip you downloaded into the window.

• Firefox: You must use Firefox Developer Edition since I (Electrolyte) can't sign these releases. Navigate to about:config, at the top, search for xpinstall.signatures.required and change it to false. Then, navigate to about:addons and click Install Add-on from file from the gear at the top right and select the zip file you downloaded.

Testing

In the parent directory, run npm run-script test to run all test files found in the test directory.
