Usage

After installing the browser extension, visit the following pages to see it in action:

Initially, the Hello World provider is enabled. Once you've confirmed that the browser extension is working, disable that provider by clicking on the OpenCtx extension icon in the Chrome toolbar and then changing the following line from true to false:


"https://openctx.org/npm/@openctx/provider-hello-world": false,

Press Save and reload the page, and the Hello World items will be gone.
