Chrome/Chromium

• Download the chromium version from the Releases section
• Extract it.
• Open a new tab and go to chrome://extensions
• Enable Developer mode on the top right
• Now you will see some new options. Click Load Unpacked.
• Select the extracted folder.
• The extension is now loaded and should work permanently.

Note: Make sure you select the root folder of the extracted file.

Steam [Desktop App]

Ironically, this extension can also be installed on steam, which uses chromium browser underneath. The process is almost identical except for a couple of workarounds.

So, the idea is to make Steam app open the main chromium browser from which we can load our extension.

• Open your steam app and right click any clickable link.
• Select Open link in a new tab.
• This would pop up a mini-browser (not our end-goal).
• Now go to the URL bar and type https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh?hl=en or a link to any chrome webstore extension.
• Click Add to Chrome.
• A popup will appear asking you to save. Choose any location, it does not matter in our case.
• Now the extension will be installed and a new Chromium window will appear. This is where we can follow steps from #Chrome/Chromium

Firefox

• Download the firefox version from the Releases section
• Open about:config
• Set xpinstall.signatures.required to false
• Go to about:addons
• Click the gear icon. Select Install add-on from file.
• Select the .zip file that was downloaded.
• Now the add-on should run.

Note: If the firefox does not recognize the .zip file type, you can rename the .zip to .xpi and it should work fine. .xpi is bacially a zip file with a changed file extension name.
