Installation Method

Prerequisites

Currently, Sugoi Search is provided as an unofficial extension for Google Chrome.

Manual installation is required at this time.

Why Not Publish Officially

To Avoid Feature Limitations

Through official stores, features and permissions may be restricted.
Particularly due to Google's review criteria and policy changes,
even if there's no issue now, features might be removed or approval denied later.

Delivering "Raw Value" to Users

Sugoi Search prioritizes maximizing Chrome's capabilities and
providing users with a truly convenient experience.
Therefore, we want to avoid unnecessary restrictions or impacts from specification changes.

About Supported Browsers

Sugoi Search works not only with Google Chrome but also with
Chromium-based browsers like Arc and Brave.

This extension is designed to provide value in any Chromium-compatible environment, not limited to specific browsers.

Future Official Store Distribution

In the future, we may consider distribution through official stores to allow more users to use it with peace of mind, but if this would require significant feature cuts, we are not actively pursuing this approach.

About Security and Reliability

Tools distributed to many users come with security responsibilities.
If malicious code were included, it would result in legal liability and litigation risks,
severely damaging the developer's credibility.

Sugoi Search is developed with user safety as the top priority.

Installation Steps

1. Open the Extensions Management Screen

From Chrome's top-right menu, select "Extensions" → "Manage Extensions"

2. Enable Developer Mode

Turn on "Developer Mode" in the top-right of the screen

3. Load Unpacked Extension

Click "Load unpacked"
Select the dist folder that you downloaded and extracted

Important Note

Your save data will depend on the location of the specified folder.
If you move it later, you may lose your data, so
please place it in a location you won't move in the future.

Summary

Sugoi Search uses a manual installation method that bypasses the official store. This allows us to avoid feature limitations and provide maximum value to users. With a design that prioritizes security and reliability, you can use it with peace of mind.
