📥 Installation

📦 Official browser stores

The best way to install the extension are the official browser extension stores:

Manual installation

  • Firefox
    • Download enhance-crunchyroll-<version>-mv2.zip from the latest release and unzip it
    • Go into your browser and type about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in the address bar
    • Click the Load Temporary Add-on... button and choose the manifest.json file in the unzipped directory
  • Chromium / Google Chrome

    As nearly every browser other than Firefox is based on Chromium, this should be the same for most of them

    • Download enhance-crunchyroll-<version>-mv3.zip from the latest release and unzip it
    • Go into your browser and type chrome://extensions in the address bar
    • Turn on the developer mode by checking the switch in the top right corner
    • Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped directory
What is the difference between mv2 and mv3?

mv stands for manifest version and the number for its revision. Chrome / all Chromium based browsers are limiting support for MV2 extensions in favor of MV3, while Firefox still only has experimental support for MV3 and therefore works better with MV2.

🛠 Development

You need nodejs and npm installed.

First you need to install the project dependencies.

$ npm install

Start the building/watch process which build the extension to the dist/ directory and re-builds it on every change.

$ npm run watch

Start your desired browser and load the extension into it. You need to do this in a separate terminal session as the command from the step before is long-running.

# Start firefox and load the plugin into it
$ npm run serve:firefox
# Start chrome (or chromium) and load the plugin into it
$ npm run serve:chrome

Footnotes

  1. Due to browser restrictions the download is only available as .ts file. ↩

  2. On Firefox, the episode will be completely loaded into RAM before writing it to the disk which might cause some lagging. This is due to the lack of the (non-standardized) showSaveFilePicker method. ↩
