Description

Our download.js in https://tails.boum.org/install/debian/usb-download/index.en.html uses `chrome.webstore.install();`

It will be impossible to install the extension like that starting in December 2018: https://blog.chromium.org/2018/06/improving-extension-transparency-for.html (with the release of Chrome 71).

As suggested in the blog post, we “simply” need to replace this piece of code with a link to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tails-verification/gaghffbplpialpoeclgjkkbknblfajdl.

I looked a bit more into the code of the download page.
It seems we already have a link! Great. So it would be sufficient to delete the code in download.js that transforms this link. I’ll prepare a branch and let you test this?

I built up upon your commit with 94249e3b71.

Would you be interested in reviewing and testing this as part of the Tails Verification maintenance core budget?

For testing instructions on Chrome Beta, search for “google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb” in verification-extension.git:README.

Great. As said over email I did not expect to be paid for this.
