I will upload the extension to Chrome Webstore later. For now, you can go to chrome:https://extensions and install it as local file. There're 2 ways:

1. Build the .crx file by following the steps below (see 'How To Build'), then drag and drop the .crx file in Chrome window.
2. Enable Developer mode, then click Load unpacked extension ... button then open the src folder in the project folder.

After installation, please check Allow access to file URLs to read local markdown files.

Open any markdown files in Chrome, it will show its HTML format. You can click the extension action button (at the right end of address bar) to toggle between text/html mode and select different themes.
