Since this extension is still in development, it isn't available on the chrome webstore. You can still use it by doing the following:

Cloning the Project Locally

Open a terminal or command prompt. Use git to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/tmlane/click-to-widen.git

Loading the Extension in Chrome

• Open Google Chrome.
• Navigate to chrome://extensions/.
• At the top right, enable "Developer mode".
• Click on the "Load unpacked" button.
• Navigate to the directory where you cloned the Click to Widen repository and select the folder. The extension should now be added to Chrome.

Using the extension:

• Click the extension icon to activate.
• Hover over a page element to highlight it.
• Click the highlighted element to expand its width.
• Click the extension icon again to deactivate (Note: Expanded elements will retain their widened style).

Future Work:

• Work-in-progress: Adjustments on window-resize for better usability.
• Upcoming: Resetting element width to original size.
• More enhancements to be added soon.

Happy widening!
