Tip
If you want to use this extension on mobile, consider using an "Extension Enabled Browser". For example the Mises Browser.
- Download the latest release ZIP file from the Releases page.
- Open your browser and go to
chrome://extensions/(oredge://extensions/, etc.)
or navigate to Three Dots >Extensions>Manage Extensions
or Extensions Icon >Manage Extensions. - Enable Developer mode (top right toggle in Chrome, perhaps somewhere else in other browsers).
- Drag and drop the ZIP file directly onto the extensions page,
or click "Load unpacked" and select the downloaded and extracted zip file/folder (StudydriveDownload-phawdk-chrome-[version]).
- Click on the latest release XPI file from the Releases page.
- This should trigger a pop-up in Firefox (top right) asking you to allow github.com to install the extension.
- Click "Continue to Installation" to install the extension, then "Add".
If you don't see the pop-up:
- Download the XPI file to your computer.
- Open Firefox and go to
about:addons. - Click on the gear icon and select "Install Add-on From File...".
- Select the downloaded XPI file to install it.
