Pre requisites:

Note: Chrome Browsers on Windows XP and Windows Vista are not supported.

Footnote:

  • You will be able to distinguish the DEV nightlies from the PROD regular builds because the nightlies have the Duckie logo turned up side down.
  • You can run a nightly browser action and the regular browser action side by side, but there can only be one active new tab extension in chrome.
    This means you need to disable one of the new tab extensions from chrome://extensions/ by un-ticking its Enabled check box.
