In plain English

RottenTruth Extension is a small Chrome browser extension built around one idea: showing the pull, meaning unverified, audience score on Rotten Tomatoes movie pages. Rotten Tomatoes sometimes displays a preliminary audience score before it has been fully verified, and this extension is meant to surface that number so a visitor to a movie page can see it without digging through the site themselves. The way it works, based on the description, is simple. A user visits a movie page on Rotten Tomatoes and clicks the extension icon in their browser toolbar to reveal the pull audience score for that film. The README itself is very short and focused entirely on installation rather than explaining how the extension works internally or what technology it uses. To install it, you extract the project files to your computer, open the chrome://extensions page in Chrome, and make sure Developer Mode is switched on using the toggle in the top right corner. From there you click Load Unpacked and select the folder you extracted, which loads the extension into your browser. Once it is loaded, you can enable it and optionally pin it to your toolbar so it is easy to reach whenever you are browsing movie pages. Because this is loaded as an unpacked extension rather than installed from the Chrome Web Store, Developer Mode needs to stay enabled for it to keep working, and there is no listed automatic update mechanism. The README does not describe the underlying code, list any dependencies, or explain what data the extension reads from the page, so beyond the installation steps and its stated purpose, there is not much more to say about it.
