Install RugsAlert (beta)

We’re not on the Chrome Web Store yet. Install manually in a few steps.

You need: Google Chrome (desktop) and a few minutes.

1. Download the extension

Get the code as a ZIP from GitHub, then unzip it on your computer.

Download ZIP (GitHub)

After downloading, unzip the file. You should see a folder like crypto-risk-app-main with manifest.json, public, and src inside.

2. Open Chrome’s Extensions page

In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions (paste that into the address bar and press Enter).

3. Turn on Developer mode

On the top-right of the Extensions page, switch Developer mode to On.

4. Load the extension

Click Load unpacked. In the file dialog, select the unzipped folder (the one that contains manifest.json). Click Select Folder.

5. You’re done

RugsAlert will appear in your extensions list and in the toolbar. Visit a risky domain (from our blocklist) to see the warning banner. When we’re on the Chrome Web Store, you’ll be able to install the normal way.
