### Installation for development
The browser extension is cross-browser for Chromium-based browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge etc.) and Firefox. When in _development mode with page reloading, it currently only works in Chrome_. Be sure to test in other Chromium-based browsers and Firefox by following the Install the extension unpacked section of the README.
1. Run `yarn` to install the required dependencies.
1. Run `yarn start` to start the browser extension in development mode. Note that with the v3 manifest for browser extensions, you can no longer do hot module reloading, but instead, the extension will cause a page refresh when the code has changed.
1. Load the browser extension unpacked from the `dist` folder.
- Follow the [steps to load an unpacked extension in Chrome](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/#manifest) to load the browser extension.
