Install the latest release
Open the latest releaseUse the Download latest release button above to open the project's current GitHub release.
Download the extension packageChoose the extension ZIP/package provided by the release assets. The extension itself does not extract article text or YouTube transcripts; Parallel Notes performs the URL import and extraction.
Load it in your browserFor development or manual installation, enable your browser's developer/extension management mode and load the unpacked extension directory when supported.
Keep it updatedWhen a new release is published, install the newer package rather than relying on an old manually loaded build.
Important: browser extension stores have their own review, packaging and update requirements. A manually loaded developer build is different from a store-installed extension.
Source and releases
The extension source lives in the Parallel Notes repository. You can inspect the manifest, background logic, icons and release packaging workflow there.
Manual loading vs. store installation
Chromium-based browsers generally provide a developer/extension management flow for loading an unpacked extension. Exact labels and update behaviour differ between Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers.
For a permanent installation for normal users, publishing through the browser's official extension store is preferable because the browser can manage updates and the installation does not depend on developer mode.
