Click "Load Unpacked Extension" and select the extracted folder containing the extension files. If you receive a manifest not found error, check for nested folders. Sometimes extracting will cause nested folders.
You can access the options page by clicking "Options" from the extensions manager, or by right clicking the extension icon at the top right of Chrome.
Enter website names into the box, one per line. This must be the full website name, including subdomains if required. Example:
