# Sounds cool. My understanding is that Brave is pretty much Chrome with Google removed and privacy enhanced (that’s why I use it). So I’m going to try installing it to Brave.
I’d be interested in how that goes

Thanks. However, in Brave, when I link to the settings are, to Manage Extensions, to Add extensions all I can get to is the Chrome “store” with no Brave option to go anywhere else to get an extension. I did download the extension offered, but can’t find a Brave function that will just let me go to my downloads to get/install it.

I had no
luck because the .xpi link for chrome wouldn't unzip to anything but .xpi
So I installed it in Firefox and I'm going to try to reverse engineer it. It does seem cool.

I got past that issue but now the download for chrome doesn't even have a manifest file, and Brave doesn't like it.
The Firefox download has a folder as follows;
META-INF

I believe that's the way Brave extensions work normally, they come from the Chrome store because Brave really is Chromium coded, no need for a separate ap store.
Just for the heck of it I decided to try the other extension offered by cynwoody, the fr_tree_viewer and low and behold it also doesn't have that META-INF folder that I believe is only for Firefox, but it works!
So I'm going to compare the manifest.json files from both folders and see what I can from there.
By the way, the tree viewer is pretty cool too.

Holy crap it worked!
I copied the "key" (line 17) from the frtv download file manifest.json and pasted that into the same line in the frpfe download manifest.json then loaded the unpacked extension from Brave extensions and it works!
Woo Hoo!

I used to use the tree viewer as well a few years. It is really interesting on some threads.Did you actually get both of cynwoody’s scripts to work?

Yes windows10 running Brave. I’m about to try it on a different computer win7 that has Chrome & Brave.

It worked, installed to Chrome with no problems. No bother with the key.

I got them both working. I recall modifying the script a long time ago, but can't remember what all I did other than to make the paragraph tag work like the others where it has a 'p', and a '/p', and also to make it work like the other buttons do with selections.

I'm not sure how you made out but I might be able to help. The .xpi file extension is easily worked around by simply changing it to .zip. Do your work and then change it back to .xpi and see how that goes. I've used that method to edit the files to allow install on lower levels of FF to get an extension to install.
I'm trying to install it in Brave but first attempts have failed.
