Chrome may remind you to be worried about that. To avoid those pop-up warnings, use the official Chrome store install above instead of this manual install.\n\n1. Download this git repository to your computer by clicking \"Clone or Download\" and then \"Download ZIP.\" \n2. Unzip/extract the ZIP on your computer.\n3. Go to this URL in your Chrome browser: [chrome://extensions/](chrome://extensions/)\n4. Click to check the box for \"Developer mode.\"\n5. One of the new buttons that should appear is \"Load unpacked extension.\" Click it. \n6. Choose the folder that the unzipped/extracted files are in (probably called \"blockchain-to-spreadsheet-master\").\n7. The extension should now appear and the \"Enabled\" box should be checked. Start browsing blockchain news to read about all the things a giant Excel spreadsheet can do!\n\nEXAMPLE:\nHere's a screenshot for y'all:\n![screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22127496/36832800-dde60102-1ce1-11e8-9559-4c4d93456376.png)\n\nSpecial thanks:\n\nTwitter user @mims (Christopher Mims) for [the suggestion](https://twitter.com/mims/status/968967786130300928) to make a \"browser extension that replaces \"blockchain\" with \"multiple copies of a giant Excel spreadsheet.\" For example, \"multiple copies of a giant excel spreadsheet to revolutionize journalism.\" \n\nThanks to Tom Maxwell for the [tutorial and template code](https://9to5google.com/2015/06/14/how-to-make-a-chrome-extensions/) for this project! \n\nEnjoy!\n\n-CBL\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcynthiablee%2Fblockchain-to-spreadsheet","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcynthiablee%2Fblockchain-to-spreadsheet","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcynthiablee%2Fblockchain-to-spreadsheet/lists"}
