# Install Sift (Chrome)

1. Unzip the Sift ZIP file.
2. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions`.
3. Turn on **Developer mode** (top right).
4. Click **Load unpacked**.
5. Select the unzipped versioned folder, such as `Sift-0.6.7`.
6. Complete the welcome guide: pick topics → add an X List → open your feed.

Why a List? Sift can only filter posts X already loads. Following is often too broad for topic packs.

Click the Sift icon anytime to open Settings.

To update later: unzip the newer version, remove the old Sift extension, and load
the new versioned folder. For automatic updates, install from the Chrome Web
Store once Sift is published there.
