ANTIRUSTY CHROME EXTENSION
Get started with AntiRusty for Chrome
Use desktop Chrome. The extension sits beside your reading, while your AntiRusty account connects learning on the web and your phone.
Preparing for release on the Chrome Web Store
Read the guide now. The install button will appear when the extension is publicly available.
Shortcut: Alt + Shift + A
- 01
Install, pin and sign in
Install from the Chrome Web Store when publicly available, then pin AntiRusty. Invoke its toolbar icon on a website → Account → sign in with a password or email code. Use the same account as the web/mobile app; its active learning language is used.
- 02
Select → look up → save to account
Invoke AntiRusty on any ordinary website, select a word or phrase → Look up with AntiRusty → Save to account. Enable the lookup box for the current website to grant persistent access to that site only. The context menu and Discover input also work.
- 03
One library across web and mobile
Open Vocabulary → AntiRusty account → Refresh from server. Review now updates the account’s FSRS schedule. Without sign-in, keep a local draft and Sync it later; local drafts have separate review schedules.
- 04
Practice directly on YouTube/video
Enable video captions and invoke AntiRusty, or choose Video → Open practice on video. The in-page panel offers sentence selection, speed/repeat controls, Dictation with answer checks, and Shadowing with local voice recording. Click subtitle words to look up/save. If transcripts are unavailable, open YouTube’s transcript and reconnect, use the current visible caption, or import a matching SRT/VTT.
A few things to know
- Account lookup, translation, saving and review require sign-in and follow AntiRusty account entitlements/credits. A save is confirmed by reading the item back from the server.
- Account vocabulary and FSRS schedules come from the server. Local drafts, JSON backups and draft review schedules stay on this device. AI pronunciation scoring is not available.
- Google/Apple account users can use the email-code sign-in flow in the extension.
- Chrome restricts internal pages, the Web Store and some embedded players. Captions vary by video, and visible-caption timings may be approximate. No video downloads or DRM bypass.
When you need a hand
Selected text is not appearing?
Invoke the AntiRusty toolbar icon on the page to grant temporary access. Select text outside input fields. Chrome restricts internal pages, the Web Store and some embedded players.
Account connection failed, or words are missing in the app?
Check the account and learning language, then choose AntiRusty account → Refresh from server. For a local draft, choose Local drafts → Sync. If server access is denied, keep local cards or export JSON and contact support. You do not need to delete data to retry.
No captions or microphone recording?
Enable video captions, invoke the toolbar icon and reconnect, or import a matching SRT/VTT file. The on-video recording button opens an extension window; choose Start recording and allow Chrome microphone access. Recordings stay on the device for the current session, for up to 60 seconds.
