|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
Advance Notice: after adding the allowlist-policy you'll get a message *Your browser is managed by your organisation* on the extensions page (and some settings like Secure DNS are disabled).\
|
|
To remove this message you'll have to remove the added policy from the registry again (run regedit and for Chrome check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome).
|
|
|
|
If you still want to add the extension to the allowlist:
|
|
|
|
Run as administrator one of the reg-files in allowlist-folder of extension (unzip).
|
|
* for Edge 116+ you may also need to run the *Forcelist* reg-file (also undo reg-file provided) or switch to *Load unpacked* installation.
|
|
|
|
If you already added extensions to the allowlist than you should change "1" to a new value (also change name of HLM-key for beta/developer versions of browsers).\
|
|
To add more extensions to the allowlist you can add more lines.\
|
|
Example Chrome-regfile:
|
|
```
|
|
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
|
|
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallAllowlist]
|
|
"1"="lkbebcjgcmobigpeffafkodonchffocl"
|
|
"2"="extension-id2"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also run the PowerShell script *bypass_paywalls_clean_allowlist.ps1* (as administrator) to add extension to the allowlist (script checks if extension already allowed or adds new registry-key).\
|
|
For the parameter browser enter chrome, edge or brave.
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
Run with admin rights one of the .mobileconfig files in allowlist-folder of extension (unzip).\
|
|
Finally restart the browser's process (in the Dock: right click on Chrome, 'Quit', reopen).\
|
|
This assumes your device is not being managed by MDM software and you don't have any profile related to the 'ExtensionInstallAllowlist' policy already active.\
|
|
To add more extensions to the allowlist you can add more lines.
|
|
```
|
|
<key>ExtensionInstallAllowlist</key>
|
|
<array>
|
|
<string>lkbebcjgcmobigpeffafkodonchffocl</string>
|
|
<string>extension-id2</string>
|
|
</array>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
[Chromium-based browsers allow local installations of extensions](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/hosting/#hosting), so not necessary :)
