The method of extension-loading that we’ll cover today involves the co-opting of an already-installed extension. Instead, there’s another way - an easier way - to test extensions. That support isn’t here today, but this doesn’t mean you have to go through the arduous process mentioned above. In the future, Brave will more easily be able to load arbitrary extensions for the purposes of developing and testing. That approach required cloning the repo (which meant you’d need to have git installed), installing dependencies (which meant you’d need to also have node/npm installed), and modifying source files.


A while back, I wrote a walk-through showing how developers can test their extensions in Brave.
