Upgrade StorageZotero extension not installing on Chrome or Edge
Hi,
I cannot install the Zotero browser plugin on either Chrome or Edge (I had it set up in both before, but Edge reset to auto-install some pointless AI update and deleted everything from my profile). In both browsers, I get the message "Manifest is not valid JSON. Can't read file."
Is there a workaround, or a known alternate plugin that works with Zotero?
Thank you!

The Chrome and Edge extensions are distributed from Google's and Microsoft's official extension sites and are valid by definition, so if you're actually trying to install these from there, this is some problem on your computer.

If this is a work computer, your institution may be blocking extension installs, or security software might be interfering.
