kbcode Chrome extension

kbcode drives your real Chrome — your profile, your logins, your sessions. The extension is the bridge that makes that possible.

✓ You probably don't need this page.
The extension ships inside kb.exe. Just run kb extension in your terminal — it installs the files and prints the one-time load step. Use the manual download below only for a second machine, another Chrome profile, or to repair a deleted folder.

1. Download

⬇ Download extension (.zip)

Unzip it to a folder you will KEEP — Chrome loads it from that path every launch, and the folder path decides the extension’s id. If you move or delete it, the extension breaks.

2. Load it in Chrome

  1. Open chrome://extensions
  2. Turn on Developer mode (top-right toggle)
  3. Click Load unpacked and pick the unzipped kbcode-chrome-extension folder (the one containing manifest.json)
  4. Open Details on the kbcode card and enable Allow user scripts (Chrome 138+) — without it, script injection is blocked on strict-CSP sites

Chrome 137+ removed --load-extension from branded builds, so this click cannot be automated. It is a one-time step.

3. Verify

kb extension doctor

Reports whether Chrome actually loaded it, from which folder, and whether the bridge is connected. If it names a stale folder, run kb extension fix and hit Reload on the card — that revives the SAME extension id (a fresh “Load unpacked” would mint a new one and break the pairing).

Troubleshooting

  1. “extension is not connected” — the folder was moved or deleted, or the card is disabled. Run kb extension doctor.
  2. Nothing happens on the first browser command — Chrome suspends idle extensions; kbcode wakes it automatically, just retry.
  3. You edited the files — unpacked extensions do not hot-reload; press Reload on the card in chrome://extensions.
