Install the extension in a recent Firefox(-based browser). It should work in Chromium(-based browsers) too, but is not as well-tested there.

Note that you may need to jump some hoops to install an extension that has not been approved by the browser vendor itself. (An approved version may be available soon.)
For Firefox, you can get it [via Mozilla Addons][]. (Depending on their review process, that might occasionally be a less up-to-date version.)

- Firefox (temporary): Go to `about:debugging`, choose ‘This Firefox’, and ‘Load Temporary Add-on…’. The extension will be removed again when you close the browser.
- Firefox (permanently): You need a ‘developer’ or ‘nightly’ edition, set `xpinstall.signatures.required` to false in `about:config` and drag & drop the file onto the list at `about:addons`.
- Chromium & co.: You need to enable ‘developer mode’ in `about:extensions`, and drag & drop the extension onto this page. It might be removed again when you close the browser.
On the [releases][] page, you can download the latest version (as a `.zip`-file, you can rename it to `.xpi` or `.crx` if that makes you or your browser happy, but also as `.zip` it should work just fine).

- Firefox (temporary): Go to `about:debugging`, choose ‘This Firefox’, ‘Load Temporary Add-on…’, select the extension file. The extension will be removed again when you close the browser.
- Firefox (permanently): You need a ‘developer’ or ‘nightly’ edition of Firefox, set `xpinstall.signatures.required` to false in `about:config`, and drag & drop the extension file onto the list at `about:addons`.
- Chromium & co.: Enable ‘developer mode’ in `about:extensions`, and drag & drop the extension file onto this page. It might however be removed again when you close the browser.

If one of those options worked for you, fun can start.
