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.
