Try new code

Introduction

Before a change in the extension becomes final and gets pushed to the Chrome Web Store to be distributed to all users, it is necessary to test these changes. For this purpose, you may want to install an unpacked extension. This article details how you do that.

Details

• unpack the contents of the .zip file or repository to a folder on your hard disk.
• in Chrome, go to Wrench symbol -> Tools -> Extensions.
• check "Developer mode" and click on "Load unpacked extension". Choose the folder you unpacked the extension to. This should load up the experimental extension.
• configure it using the options link
• disable the stock extension for the duration of testing (from chrome://extensions/?id=oabphaconndgibllomdcjbfdghcmenci)
• try out the new function
• report back!
