Installing on Chromium/Linux: "Could not load manifest" #878

Closed hadi-naqvi closed 10 months ago

hadi-naqvi commented 10 months ago

Error: image manifest.json: image Due to the fact that index.html does not exist in the directory specified by manifest.json, it seems to be causing the "Could not load manifest" error.

Additional Info: I'm using Brave browser on Linux and attempting to install the extension by:

  1. Going to brave://extensions/
  2. Enabling Developer Mode
  3. Load unpacked --> src folder from repository

Fixed this issue by installing the packed extension (dragging and dropping the .crx file onto the brave://extensions/ page) which can be found here: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension/releases/

Note: This is how you're supposed to install the extension on a Chromium-based browser using Linux.

It's documented like that in our download chromium page.
