Local .crx unsupported workaround using "load unpacked" #199

Just want to say a big thanks for your work.

I came across the issue with the new .crx installation. According to link, it seems that local crx are no longer enabled (at least it wasn't for me on Brave browser).

The workaround for me was to download the zip from the releases page, unzip the content to a permanent location and install the extension using the "load unpacked" method.

The file you need to download and unpack is the CRX itself, not the source code zip. (just making this clearer)
