- Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a desktop computer (Windows, macOS or Linux) · About 3 MB of disk space for the unzipped folder, which must stay where you put it · Not for phones: mobile browsers do not run extensions
Chrome Web Store Chrome Web Store listing: submitted, awaiting review. Until it is published, install the same build from the download page ("Load unpacked"); the Store copy will carry over your leads and activation.
Before you install The Metrixan licensing service is live. Continue Free activates in both tools with a 6-digit email code and never expires: Uqab saves up to 10 new businesses a day, Uqab Mailer sends 3 emails a day from one mailbox. Paid plans activate with a license key once purchasing opens.
Installing (Load unpacked)
- Unzip the download into a folder you will keep, for example Documents, Uqab. The folder must contain manifest.json directly (not inside another folder).
- In Chrome open chrome://extensions (Edge: edge://extensions), switch on Developer mode in the top right, choose "Load unpacked" and pick that folder.
- Uqab appears in the toolbar (pin it from the puzzle-piece menu). Open a Google Maps or Bing Maps search to start collecting; your leads stay in your browser.
About the Developer mode message
- Chrome shows "Disable developer mode extensions" when it starts with an unpacked extension loaded. Choose Cancel (or close the bubble); it does not disable Uqab, and the message stops once the Chrome Web Store version is installed instead.
- Download only from this page, and compare the SHA-256 below before loading it if you want to be certain the folder is the one Metrixan built.
Checking the file
In PowerShell: Get-FileHash "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\uqab-1.2.1-unpacked.zip" -Algorithm SHA256The Hash value must equal the SHA-256 shown on this page, letter for letter (case does not matter).
Updating
- The dashboard shows a notice when a newer version exists; nothing updates by itself.
- To update, download the newer zip, replace the contents of your Uqab folder with it, then press the reload arrow on the Uqab card at chrome://extensions. Your leads and settings are kept.
- If you later install Uqab from the Chrome Web Store, it carries the same identity, so the Store copy sees the same leads and your activation; remove the unpacked copy afterwards to avoid two toolbar icons.
After installing
- Open the Uqab dashboard from the toolbar icon and activate: Continue Free (10 new businesses a day) or a license key. See pricing.
- Run a Google Maps or Bing Maps search in a tab; Uqab collects the listings it shows into your workspace, with duplicates held for review.
- Choose an export folder under Exports so Uqab Mailer can import your leads automatically, or export CSV / Excel.
