You need desktop Chrome or Edge and permission to enable Developer mode. The release from TrolyPage’s installation page is a ZIP file. Extract it before choosing a folder in the browser.
Step by step
Download from the installation page
Open Install within TrolyFB and download the release. The page shows its version and SHA-256 for comparison if needed. Save the ZIP, then extract it into a permanent folder.
Open extension management
In Chrome, open chrome://extensions. In Edge, open edge://extensions. Enable Developer mode on that page. This is a browser setting, not an option inside Facebook.
Load the extracted folder
Choose Load unpacked and select the folder containing manifest.json. In the release ZIP, this is the TrolyPage-Groups folder. If the browser cannot find the manifest, select the correct inner folder rather than the ZIP file.
Pin and open the extension
Pin TrolyFB from the browser’s extensions menu. Open Facebook in the same profile, sign in yourself and open the extension. Check the identity before importing groups. Installing it has not sent a post.
Update using the same folder
Export your data before replacing the installation. Update the files in the folder already loaded, then use Reload on the extensions page. Changing folders can create a separate ID and data; Chrome does not automatically migrate another extension’s data.
Before you begin
- If a managed computer blocks Developer mode, its device administration policy needs to be addressed before installation.
- You can read the website on a phone. Installing and running the extension requires a desktop browser.
