## What it is
A browser extension that enables installing extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store on ungoogled-chromium and other Chromium forks lacking web store support. It also provides semi-automatic update checking for installed extensions via a toolbar badge.

## Use cases
- install chrome web store extensions on ungoogled-chromium
- update extensions in chromium forks without web store support
- add extensions to a degoogled browser
- check for extension updates with a badge
- install crx extensions outside the web store

## When to choose
- you use ungoogled-chromium or a Chromium fork without web store integration
- you want a privacy-friendly way to install and update extensions
- you need semi-automatic extension update notifications

## When to avoid
- you use standard Chrome or Edge, which already support the web store
- you need fully automatic background extension updates
- you use a non-Chromium browser like Firefox
