Guide for *load an unpacked extension* from [*chrome developers docs*](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/#unpacked):
#### 1. Open the Extension Management page by navigating to `chrome://extensions`.
- Alternatively, open this page by clicking on the Extensions menu button and selecting *Manage Extensions* at the bottom of the menu.
- Alternatively, open this page by clicking on the Chrome menu, hovering over *More Tools* then selecting *Extensions*
#### 2. Enable Developer Mode by clicking the toggle switch next to *Developer mode*.
#### 3. Click the *Load unpacked* button and select the extension directory.
Ta-da! The extension has been successfully installed. Because no icons were included in the manifest, a generic icon will be created for the extension.
OR, you can just [download from extension store](#download-from-extension-store)
