How to Install a Development version of the DuckieTV Chrome Browser Extension

Notice

Starting with Chromium 124 the support for Web SQL has been removed.
Web SQL is the database that Dtv uses to store its data.

The rest of this document is obsolete.

References

In this guide, I will be using:

DEV to refer to the Development DuckieTV Browser Extension version (from GitHub).

NIGHTLY to refer to the Nightly build package of DEV, and

SOURCE to refer to the GitHub source Development version of DEV, to save my aching fingers some work ;-)

Installation

So you are keen to try out the greatest and latest version of DuckieTV. Terrific.

Fair warning: In the early days, DEV was a work in progress (a canary release). You may find incomplete features and/or come across unexpected errors or surprises. But these days its actually quite stable as changes are complete and well tested.

This is a step by step guide on how to install the latest DEV version for Chrome Browsers.

Pre requisites:

You have the choice of using

• (1) SOURCE: the DEV from the GitHub source,

OR

• (2) NIGHTLY: the DEV from the Nightly builds.

The code is the same. The only difference between the two is that the Nightly builds are packaged in the same way as the Chrome Webstore, and is therefore not suitable for your own debugging or modification. If you want to read or change the code then I recommend option (1) SOURCE.
