How to Install Media Resource Downloader in Chrome (Unpacked)

TL;DR

Until the Chrome Web Store listing is live, install Media Resource Downloader by enabling Developer mode at chrome://extensions/, choosing Load unpacked, and picking the extension folder — then pin the icon for quick access.

Steps

Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/.
Turn on Developer mode (top right).
Click Load unpacked and select the extension folder.
Pin the icon for quick access.
Open a media-heavy page and let it scan.

Why it works this way

The extension currently ships as an unpacked install, which Chrome supports natively through Developer mode — no store account or review wait required. It’s the standard way to run a Chrome extension directly from its folder. A Chrome Web Store listing is planned to make this a one-click install later.

Tips & edge cases

Keep the extension folder where you can find it; unpacked extensions load from that path.
Pin the icon so scanning a page is always one click.
A store listing is on the way for simpler installs.
