🚀 Installation Guide

1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_plus

Downloads the entire project code from GitHub to your computer.

cd chrome_plus

Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. CMake

Medium Recommended

Prerequisites

Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
CMake The tool used to generate build configuration.
C/C++ 컴파일러 Windows needs Visual Studio (Community edition, free), macOS needs Xcode Command Line Tools, Linux needs the gcc/g++ package.

mkdir build && cd build

Creates a folder to hold the build output and moves into it.

cmake ..

Analyzes the source code and generates build configuration files (must be run inside the build folder).

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

✅ Check that an executable was created inside the build folder, then run it directly (e.g. ./build/app_name).

Chrome++ Next is a `version.dll` injection project for Google Chrome. It is loaded alongside `chrome.exe` and augments browser behavior at startup with tab, hotkey, portable, command-line, and policy-related features.

## Overview
- Targets Google Chrome on Windows.
- Works by placing `version.dll` next to `chrome.exe`.
- Focuses on practical browser behavior changes instead of UI wrappers or extensions.
- Prioritizes capabilities that browser extensions cannot implement well, or that external tools do not solve cleanly.

## Support Policy
- Bug reports are accepted only for the latest stable Google Chrome.
- Other Chromium-based browsers may work, but they are not supported targets.
- Reporting requirements are enforced in the GitHub Issues templates.

## Download
- [Latest releases](https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_plus/releases)

## Installation
- Put `version.dll` in the same directory as `chrome.exe`.
- The recommended installation method is to use the [Chrome offline installer package](https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_installer), extract it twice, and use the unpacked Chrome program files directly.
- The project is intended for portable Chrome deployments. If you keep updater components or other Chrome remnants on the system, you are responsible for the resulting environment-specific behavior.
- If `version.dll` is not loaded correctly, you can try [setdll](https://github.com/Bush2021/setdll/).

## Capability Overview
### Tab and bookmark behavior
- Double-click to close tabs.
- Right-click to close tabs, with `Shift` preserving the original menu.
- Keep the last tab from closing the browser window.
- Switch tabs with the mouse wheel over the tab strip.
- Switch tabs with the mouse wheel while holding the right mouse button.
- Activate a tab by resting the cursor on it.
- Open omnibox input or bookmarks in a new tab.
- Control new-tab detection through `new_tab_disable` and `new_tab_disable_name`.

### Hotkeys and input remapping
- Configure a boss key to hide and restore Chrome windows, and mute or restore audio along with those actions.
- Configure a translate hotkey.
- Remap hotkeys to other key combinations or Chrome command IDs through `keymapping`.

### Portable deployment and startup behavior
- Override `data_dir` and `cache_dir` for portable use.
- Append Chromium switches through `command_line`.
- Run commands or programs with `launch_on_startup` and `launch_on_exit`.

### Browser environment controls
- Ignore enterprise policies with `ignore_policies`.
- Enable the `win32k` fallback only when Chrome++ itself causes startup crashes.
- Suppress Chrome's false "out of date" upgrade notification on portable installs with `suppress_false_upgrade_notification`.
- Additional public options such as `show_password` remain documented in [`src/chrome++.ini`](src/chrome++.ini).

## Configuration Reference
- See [`src/chrome++.ini`](src/chrome++.ini) for the full public configuration surface.
