Plugins ​

Hayase supports Chrome extensions as plugins, allowing you to extend the app's functionality using the vast ecosystem of existing Chrome extensions.

Unlike content source extensions (torrent, NZB, subtitle, HTTP), plugins are standard Chrome extensions that can modify or enhance Hayase's behavior in various ways.

Installing Plugins ​

From a .crx File ​

  1. Download the .crx file from a trusted source
  2. Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin → Select .crx file
  3. Confirm installation

From a .zip File ​

  1. Download or package the extension as .zip
  2. Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin → Select .zip file
  3. Confirm installation

From an Unpacked Directory ​

  1. Have the extension's folder containing manifest.json ready
  2. Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin → Select manifest.json
  3. Confirm installation

Downloading .crx Files from the Chrome Web Store ​

To install a Chrome extension as a plugin, you first need to obtain its .crx file:

  1. Go to the Chrome Web Store

  2. Find the extension you want

  3. Copy the extension's ID from the URL (e.g., coolextensionid123 in https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/name/coolextensionid123)

  4. Download the .crx directly using the following URL pattern:

    https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&prodversion=150&acceptformat=crx2,crx3&x=id%3D{extension_id}%26uc

    For example: https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&prodversion=150&acceptformat=crx2,crx3&x=id%3Dcoolextensionid123%26uc

    You may need to update prodversion to the latest Chrome version if the download fails - check Wikipedia for the current release number.

    The extension will show up in your Downloads directory, without a download popup.

  5. Install the downloaded .crx file in Hayase

Notes ​

  • Not all Chrome extensions are compatible - plugins must work within Hayase's sandboxed environment.
  • Extensions that require full browser APIs (e.g., tabs, windows, bookmarks) may not function as expected.
  • Content scripts and page-modifying extensions may require additional compatibility.
