Why??

You may be thinking that doesn't something like this already exist and the answer is YES it does. There are many extensions out there and I have used most of them, but what ends up happening is they become popular and the authors/companies behind them try to monetize their creations. They put in paywalls limiting functionality and making you pay to get that functionality back. So, if you don't like that, try out Cyclops.

Installation

Currently, this extension isn't published to the chrome web store, so you must build it manually using the steps below

Prerequisites:

  • NodeJS

Build and Install

  1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/nixtus/cyclops.git
  2. cd cyclops
  3. Install deps npm i
  4. Build npm run build
  5. In your chrome or brave browser navigate to {chrome/brave}://extensions
  6. Ensure you have Developer Mode enabled
  7. Click Load unpacked
  8. Select the dist folder that was produced in step 4
  9. Now, if you click the extensions button, you should see the Cyclops extension displayed

Development

  • Install deps npm install
  • Start watch mode npm run dev
  • Go into chrome/brave brave://extensions
  • Click Load Unpacked
  • Select the dist directory that was produced from the watch command
  • The extension will now be accessible in the menu bar
