You can build actual version of extension or download some of the old pre builded releases. Currently both versions - manifest v2 & v3 bit tested and working. v3 is more actual now (but less tested) because v2 will be shutdown by Chrome in 2023

Build from source code

  1. Download extension source code
  2. Unpack archive & Go to extension folder, rename manifest.v2 or v3 file to manifest.json
    2.1 For v3 go to _build folder and execute merge.bg.v3.bat or merge listed in bat file files manualy to background.js file
  3. Exclude additional libs (extended support for joyreactor site) strings (list of strings) from manifest.json if not needed or download additional libs and unpack to same folder

Pre-builded versions of extension

  1. Download extension zip-file from archive or from releases
  2. Unpack archive to any folder

Install

  1. Install unpacked extension in developer mode for Chrome (any Chromium based - Opera, Edge, KiWi etc. is similar)
    1.1 Go to chrome://extensions
    1.2 Enable Developer Mode by clicking the toggle switch
    1.3 Click the Load unpacked button and select extension folder (folder with manifest.json file)
