# 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

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

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!
