Common questions
Chrome says "disable developer mode extensions" every time I start it?
This is Chrome's standard warning for every manually-installed extension. Click "Cancel" and ignore it — nothing is broken.
Can I turn Developer mode off afterwards?
No. TinyPS gets disabled if you do, so please leave it on.
How do I update to a new version?
Download the new zip, delete the old folder, unzip the new one, then repeat step 3 in chrome://extensions and pick the new folder (or click "Update" on the card).
Does this work in Edge too?
Yes. Use edge://extensions instead of chrome://extensions — every other step is identical.
How do I uninstall it?
Click "Remove" on the TinyPS card, then delete the unzipped folder.
