Install it from Chrome Web Store:

Open Chrome devtools console, a function named $i could be used to import JavaScript and CSS resources.
$i('jquery')Import specific version:
$i('jquery@2')Also, you can import a valid script URL:
$i('https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js')CSS is supported, too:
$i('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css')ES module has been widely supported in modern browsers. $i.esm method can be useful in this case:
d3 = await $i.esm('d3')or specify a version:
d3 = await $i.esm('d3@7')The advantage of this approach is that no global variables are added to the window, which allows better control over the scope of side effects. For more details, see https://esm.run.
Some websites like Google Inbox already have $i used as a global variable. This extension doesn't overwrite it.
You can use console.$i on these websites.
On some websites like GitHub, $i will fail to import resources. Console errors may be like follows:
# js errors example
Refused to connect to 'https://api.cdnjs.com/libraries?search=jquery' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive:
# css errors example
Refused to load the stylesheet 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive:It is because of strict Content Security Policy of these websites. For more information, see Content Security Policy (CSP) wiki
- If it is like a JavaScript lib name, like
jquery, try to load it from cdnjs - If it has version number, like
jquery@2, try to load it from unpkg - If it is a valid URL(CSS or JS), load it directly
For advanced use, there are also two functions $i.unpkg and $i.cdnjs which could be used to import resources from specific CDN.
