Chrome & Chromium Installation

Method 1: Chrome Web Store​

Install directly from the Chrome Web Store for automatic updates and the most stable experience.

Nightly & Manual Installation​

Use these methods if you want the absolute latest features (Nightly) or want to install a specific version manually.

Method 2: Manual Installation (Developer Mode)​

key included in manifest

A key is included in the manifest primarily for ease of testing the Trello widget. The key makes the extension install with the same ID every time like it does on Firefox, even when manually installing it.

  1. Go to the Releases page.
  2. Download the build you want:
    • Stable: tabliss-chromium.zip (from the latest release)
    • Nightly: tabliss-chromium-nightly.zip (from the nightly-auto release)
  3. Unzip the file into a permanent folder on your computer.
  4. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/.
  5. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right corner.
  6. Click "Load unpacked".
  7. Select the folder where you unzipped the extension (ensure manifest.json is in the root of that folder).
Keep Folder Location

Do not move or rename the extension folder after installation. If you move or delete it, the extension will stop working.

note

This does persist across browser restarts.

Note: to get the absolute latest builds, you can download from GitHub Actions.

Updating & Switching Versions​

How to Update​

Standard installations via the Chrome Web Store should update automatically.

To force an update check:

  1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/.
  2. Ensure Developer mode is enabled (toggle in the top right corner).
  3. Click the Update button in the top toolbar.
  4. This will trigger an update check for all installed extensions.

Switching Between Versions (Stable ↔ Nightly)​

If you want to switch between Stable and Nightly builds, or manually update to a newer release without losing your settings, follow these steps:

  1. Download the new version's .zip file.
  2. Extract the files to a folder on your computer.
  3. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/.
  4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the new folder.
  5. You can now safely delete the old folder.

Because TablissNG uses a consistent extension ID, the browser will treat this as an update to your existing installation, and all your settings will be preserved!

Switching Versions & Data Loss

If you are moving from a Nightly or Manual build back to the Store version, please be aware:

  • Browsers most likely will not let you easily switch back to the store version.
  • Installing the store version over a manual build may require you to delete the existing one first.
  • This will delete all your settings and data.

Before switching, always export your settings from the TablissNG dashboard to ensure you don't lose your configuration.
