Chrome CRX_REQUIRED_PROOF_MISSING solution

[aknight2015]

My sheer divine inspiration, I have a solution. For those of you trying to install the extension and getting Google going "I'm sorry, but you can't have that because we don't like it" error, or the CRX_REQUIRED_PROOF_MISSING error and it constantly being deleted. I have a solution.

1. First, enable developer mode on your extension page. (You should always have that enabled anyway.)

2. Download the repo as a zip file.
   2.A) Click the green code button
   

3. Extract the zip file somehwere.

4. Drag and drop the CRX file onto the extensions page. Chrome will have a hissy fit and ask if you want to keep it even though the software can't verify its safety. (I really have no respect for Google. Can ya tell?)

5. Tell Chrome that's it's okay, and you want to keep it anyway.

6. Go here: https://neverdecaf.github.io/discord-PWA/

7. Install.

The ONLY reason this works is because the developer, bless his soul, included the crx in the repo. If he ever takes that out, this won't work.

This is what's going on.

TLDR: Google is smarter than everyone, and will put policies in place to protect us.

Just to be clear, all you have to do is download the zip from the green code button??

Yup.

@Sherman999 I just found this ( chrome://flags/#web-app-universal-install ) while going through the flags so I could disable my trackpad.
