How to Install Gmail Alias Toolkit

Choose a package

Download the package for your browser from the current GitHub release:

  • gmail-alias-toolkit-{version}-chrome.zip — Google Chrome and Chromium browsers
  • gmail-alias-toolkit-{version}-firefox.zip — Mozilla Firefox
  • gmail-alias-toolkit-{version}-edge.zip — Microsoft Edge
  • gmail-alias-toolkit-{version}-opera.zip — Opera

Chrome, Edge, Opera, and other Chromium browsers

  1. Download the ZIP file for your browser and extract it.
  2. Rename the extracted directory to gmail-alias-toolkit.
  3. Open your browser's extensions page:
    • Chrome: chrome://extensions
    • Edge: edge://extensions
    • Opera: opera://extensions
  4. Enable Developer mode.
  5. Choose Load unpacked.
  6. Select the extracted gmail-alias-toolkit directory.

Manual updates

To preserve extension settings when updating manually:

  1. Keep using the same gmail-alias-toolkit folder path.
  2. Replace the contents of that folder with the contents from the new ZIP file.
  3. Return to the extensions page and click Reload.

Firefox

  1. Download and extract gmail-alias-toolkit-{version}-firefox.zip.
  2. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
  3. Click Load Temporary Add-on.
  4. Select manifest.json from the extracted folder.

Temporary Firefox installations are removed when Firefox restarts. For normal use, install the signed version from Firefox Add-ons.

Official stores

Notes

  • Manual installations do not update automatically.
  • Keep the extracted folder after installation; deleting or moving it can disable the unpacked extension.
  • The Edge and Opera packages are Chromium builds prepared specifically for their browser targets.
