#### C. Allowlist Method (Recommended)
- Add the allowlist for the extension for your browser and os (see instructions [here](allowlist/README.html))
- After successful allowlisting , Download the latest crx from [Releases](https://forge.bitmutex.com/bitmutex/bpc/releases/download/v0.0.1/bypass-paywalls-clean-latest.crx) and run in browser.
- In Edge, file might get auto-deleted on download, for this, open your `cmd`/`terminal`/`powershell`, navigate to a directory of your choice and run
```sh
curl -L -o bypass-paywalls-clean-latest.crx "https://forge.bitmutex.com/bitmutex/bpc/releases/download/v0.0.1/bypass-paywalls-clean-latest.crx"
```
- In your browser go to the extensions page: *chrome://extensions*
- Enable Developer Mode.
- Drag and Drop the downloaded .crx to Edge.
### Update
For crx-installation: extension will update automatically or check for updates (in chrome://extensions).\
Extension may be disabled (in Chrome/Edge) when extension needs new host permissions for added domains: opt-in/opt-out to custom sites once to disable this 'error' (browser will remember granted host permissions).
