Browser extension

Use Scoutary in Chrome on your computer. Once installed, keep its icon within reach so you can open it while browsing.

Install from the Chrome Web Store

Add Scoutary to Chrome

Select Add to Chrome, review the permissions, then confirm with Add extension.

Enable Scoutary

1. Enter chrome://extensions/ in Chrome’s address bar.
2. Find Scoutary and turn its switch on if it is off.

Pin it to your toolbar

1. Open the Extensions menu (the puzzle-piece icon beside the address bar).
2. Find Scoutary and select the Pin icon.
3. Select the Scoutary icon on your toolbar to open the extension.

Pinning makes the icon easier to find. Unpinning hides the icon without disabling the extension.

Automatic updates

Chrome automatically updates the version installed from the Chrome Web Store. You normally do not need to download or reinstall it.

Updates may take some time to arrive. If an update is waiting, close any open Scoutary popup or side panel so the extension can become idle.
