Hi folks. Looked everywhere in extension, Chrome Web Store, etc. Can't seem to locate the TabFS extension.

Thank you,

Clicking on the " Chrome extensions page" link on that page doesn't do anything, I realize it is supposed to take me to "chrome://extensions" but it doesn't.

Further, if I type "chrome://extensions" into the Chrome browser onmisearch - I don't see it listed as an extension even if I search. Could it be because of developer mode being on?

Last, if I go to the Chrome Web Store its not listed in the extensions there either.

Thank you,

Meh, turned off dev mode. Made no difference.

Load-unpacked the extension/ folder in this repo.

You need to install/load the extension locally, manually, from the git repo. It is not available in the Google store.

I'm intentionally not going to provide any more detailed instructions. This extension is experimental and may destroy your data.

Well ... almost got there. I get the following error. Restarted the extension, closed and reopened browser.
