You can install extraneous for Firefox like any other extension by clicking [here](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/extraneous/).

### Manually

#### Firefox

1. Download [the latest version of the extension](https://github.com/sysrqmagician/extraneous/releases/latest/download/extension.zip)

2. In Firefox Developer Edition (recommended) or Firefox Nightly, navigate to ``about:config`` and set ``xpinstall.signatures.required`` to ``false``

3. Navigate to ``about:addons`` and open the cogwheel dropdown menu.

4. Click ``Install Add-On From File...`` and select the zip file in the dialog

5. Press confirm on the warning that pops up

#### Chromium-based

There is no official listing for extraneous in the Chrome Web Store. Support offered for Chromium is limited, but the extension should work nonetheless.

1. Download [the latest version of the extension](https://github.com/sysrqmagician/extraneous/releases/latest/download/extension.zip).

2. Extract the ``extension.zip`` into a separate folder.

3. Navigate to ``chrome://extensions``.

4. Enable Developer mode by clicking the toggle in the top-right corner.

5. Click ``Load unpacked`` and select the directory you extracted the extension into.

6. A "safety check" will pop up. Choose to keep the extension.
