What to do if you can't find an extension in the Chrome library

Shift supports Chrome extensions. Due to the way that the Chrome extension library search query functions, less-used or obscure extensions may not show up when searched. If you're searching for a Chrome extension in Shift but cannot find it, we recommend walking through the steps below:

1. Confirm that the extension is in the Chrome Web Store

Open Chrome (not Shift) and search for the extension. If you can’t find it, it might not be available.

2. Double-check that the extension is spelled correctly

Double-check the name of the extension. Spelling needs to be exact, especially for uncommon extensions.

3. Obtain the extension link directly from the provider's website

Many extensions have a direct link to their page in the Chrome Web Store.

Example - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extensionname/URLitendifier

  1. Search online for “how to download [extension name].”
  2. Look for the official link to the Chrome Web Store.
  3. Copy the link and paste it into Shift’s search bar.
  4. Click "Add to Shift" and log in to use the extension.
