Trace has not been updated in a while due to personal circumstances.

Once I am able to begin development again, I will be re-coding Trace using the new Manifest version 3 API.

Updates will be posted on my telegram channel linked below.

Thank you for your patience.

Install From Source Code

Chromium/Chrome/New Edge

Download and extract the MyTrace folder (link).
Move the MyTrace folder to a location of your choosing, e.g. Documents folder
- When you go to update Trace in the future, replace this MyTrace folder with the new one.
- If you move this folder your extension settings will be reset, so make sure to create a backup before doing so.
In the browser, navigate to chrome://extensions
Enable Developer mode if it is not already enabled. You should see some new options appear.
Click Load unpacked extension....
When prompted, locate the MyTrace folder and press Open
The extension should now be installed.

This method will warn you each time you open the browser that "Developer extensions" are installed. If this gets annoying then you could create a shortcut to your Chromium executable with the commandline flag: --load-extension='PATH_TO_EXTENSION' where PATH_TO_EXTENSION is the full file path to the MyTrace folder.

This repo will currently not accept contributions.
