You can install it unpackaged from the zip in the releases page.
Alternatively you can build it from scratch downloading the master branch, installing packages with pnpm install and then build it using angular cli with ng build. The resulting "dist" folder that will be created is the extension that can be used on the browsers.
For Chrome/chromium browsers you will have to remove the scripts, key and browser_specific_settings keys from the manifest before sending the extension to upload to any store:
"background": {
"scripts": ["assets/background.js"]
},
"browser_specific_settings": {
"gecko": {
"id": "[email protected]",
"strict_min_version": "109.0"
}
},
"key": "MIIBIjANBgkqhki ... "For Firefox you need to remove the service_worker and the key keys from the manifest:
"background": {
"service_worker": "assets/background.js"
},

After that you can start changing files and doing ng build to generate the project that you can open from your chromium browser in chrome://extensions page
(You will probably need to enable developer mode to load an unpacked extension).
To package the extension into a .crx file just go to chrome://extensions and click the "package extension" button.
This extension was released as-is. If there is anything you think is missing, feel free to open a pull request.
