Work with Chrome
How Crux connects to Chrome — status, setup, and how it links to Research and Experience.
Part 26 of 27 in the guide Work with your favourite tools
Status: Available
The Crux browser extension overlays why-stories on live UI when elements carry crux-attr short IDs.
Setup
- Open Settings → Browser Extension and follow install steps.
- Ensure the live site ships
crux-attr="ex-…"(via MCP tagging). - Open the overlay on a tagged page to see Experience + evidence.
How it fits
Crux keeps Research (evidence) and Experience (pages, features, content) linked. Chrome plugs into that loop — it does not replace the tool you already use for day-to-day work in that product.
Notes
Chrome Web Store listing may still be rolling out; sideload instructions stay in Settings.
