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The rest of this document is obsolete.


  1. Download the DuckieTV Nightly Chrome extension zip file *.chrome-browseraction.zip (action mode) Or *.chrome-newtab.zip (newtab mode) from here
  2. Unpack the contents to a local folder of your choice
  3. Access your chrome browser
  4. Go to the browser extensions page chrome://extensions/
  5. Enable the developer mode switch (top right of that page)
  6. Click on the load unpacked button (near top left)
  7. Navigate the extension directory popup to where ever you put the files from step 2
  8. If successful, you should see an upside down DuckieTV icon near the right side of your browser address bar (action mode) OR when you open a new tab you will see the DuckieTV home page (new tab mode).

Note: Chrome Browsers on Windows XP and Windows Vista are not supported.
