Advance Notice: after adding the allowlist-policy you'll get a message Your browser is managed by your organisation on the extensions page (and some settings like Secure DNS are disabled).
-To remove this message you'll have to remove the added policy from the registry again (run regedit and for Chrome check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome).
If you still want to add the extension to the allowlist:
-Run as administrator one of the reg-files in allowlist-folder of extension (unzip).
-If you already added extensions to the allowlist than you should change "1" to a new value (also change name of HLM-key for beta/developer versions of browsers).
-To add more extensions to the allowlist you can add more lines.
-Example Chrome-regfile:
- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
-[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallAllowlist]
-"1"="lkbebcjgcmobigpeffafkodonchffocl"
-"2"="extension-id2"
-
-
- You can also run the PowerShell script bypass_paywalls_clean_allowlist.ps1 (as administrator) to add extension to the allowlist (script checks if extension already allowed or adds new registry-key).
-For the parameter browser enter chrome, edge or brave.
Run with admin rights one of the .mobileconfig files in allowlist-folder of extension (unzip).
-Finally restart the browser's process (in the Dock: right click on Chrome, 'Quit', reopen).
-This assumes your device is not being managed by MDM software and you don't have any profile related to the 'ExtensionInstallAllowlist' policy already active.
-To add more extensions to the allowlist you can add more lines.
- <key>ExtensionInstallAllowlist</key>
-<array>
-<string>lkbebcjgcmobigpeffafkodonchffocl</string>
-<string>extension-id2</string>

- - Chromium-based browsers allow local installations of extensions, so not necessary :)
