- With today's the release of Downie 2.9 it is evident that release of Downie 3 is getting closer! There are still at least 9 updates coming for Downie 2.x 6 updates coming for Downie 2.x, but I thought I'd provide some information about the upgrade. Firstly, it will be an enourmous update. The main focus will go.
Downie comes with a set of browser extensions that allow you to send links to Downie with a single click. Unfortunately, the one for Chrome (and Chromium) is missing. Not that I would be lazy or anything, but it got pulled down by Google – as did any YouTube downloading extension. All you can find on the Chrome Store now are extensions that include a disclaimer in their description that they do not support YouTube.
So what to do? Why don't I just distribute the extension separately? Well, there's another hiccup – Chrome will not load extensions that are not on the Chrome Store and this can't be bypassed. It's a vicious cycle.

Isn't there another way around it? Yes, there is, but it's a bit more complicated. All Downie's extensions are open sourced (https://github.com/charlieMonroe/DownieExtensions), so you can download the extension's source code and load it from the source code. Here are instructions:
Step 1
Download the extension source code. To do so, open this link: https://github.com/charlieMonroe/DownieExtensions/raw/master/Chrome%20and%20Firefox/Downie.zip
Once downloaded, unzip the you will get a Downie folder which contains source code of the extension. Don't worry, you won't have to edit it.
Move the folder somewhere on your disk where it can stay as Chrome will not import the code, it will be always using this source code. You can e.g. move it to the Documents folder.
Step 2
Open Chrome and enter extensions. You can do this by clicking on this link or typing it out in Chrome and confirming: chrome://extensions
In the top right corner, enable the Developer mode (see below for a screenshot). After that click on Load unpacked. You will get a classic open dialog – select the Downie folder that you've downloaded and saved in Step 1 and confirm. That's it!
