Any quickie guide on how to build for Brave/Chomium browsers? I installed the paywall blocker this way but the package was configured to work out of the box

Download the repo, open chrome, go to extensions and turn on developer mode, select load unpacked extension and navigate to the src folder in the repo.

If it doesn’t work, download here and do the same https://github.com/cowlicks/privacypossum/releases/tag/2019.7.18

@un71 i tried exactly that, thought it might be that simple, like when i did with paywall bypasser but getting the below error screen

Edit: Tried for both git clone of repo and the release file

[dshark3y]

Reading the wiki, it mentioned that i needed to edit the manifest file with the version number etc etc, so by dragging in the src folder instead of the full release folder it works now

Any info on why pp has been removed?

Probably Google found a security issue or just they considered it was against their terms of use like many other privacy extensions... Just wait for @cowlicks to update it ! For now it works perfectly but if it's a security issue, it would be nice to know !

Edit: project is certainly discontinued, no update anywhere.
