**Stop-gap install.** Chrome Web Store review is in progress; the manual steps below are how you load it today.

## Install

1.  Find the `.zip` you just downloaded; if you skipped the button above, grab one from [the releases page](https://github.com/timothyjordan/a14y/releases).
2.  Unzip it; keep the resulting folder somewhere stable. Chrome reads from this folder on every load — if you delete or move it, the extension breaks.
3.  Open `chrome://extensions/` in a new tab.
4.  Toggle **Developer mode** on; the switch sits in the top-right of the page.
5.  Click **Load unpacked** and select the unzipped folder.
6.  Pin a14y from the puzzle-piece icon so the popup is one click away on any page.

## Updating

To install a newer version, repeat the steps above with the latest `.zip`; Chrome replaces the existing install in place. Once the Chrome Web Store approves the extension this page switches to a one-click install button and updates run automatically.

## Privacy

The extension scores pages locally and sends only anonymous usage events (which check ran, pass/fail counts); never the URL or page content you audited. See [privacy](/privacy/) for the full breakdown and an on/off toggle.
