Load the extension from disk directly:

Checkout the repo

Alternatively, you can pack the extension yourself and load by dropping the .crx file in the Extensions page.

How to use

Browse to a page with WebGL content (you can find many here http://threejs.org/, here https://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl or here http://www.webgl.com/)
Open DevTools
Select the Shader Editor tab
The extension needs to instrument WebGLRenderingContext: if you open DevTools after the page has loaded, hit the Reload button. If the extension was already running, it automatically instruments the page.
If there are calls to .createProgram, the UI will show a list
Select a program to see its vertex shader and fragment shader
Use the Pretty Print icon to make the code more readable
Use the fullscreen button to make the code editor bigger
Use the Star icon to apply the GLSL Optimiser
Use the check mark icon next to each shader's name to toggle its visiblity
Use the Eye icon to disable shader highlighting
On the Textures tab, click on a texture to open a File Dialog to use another texture, or drag and drop a file into the texture.
On the Setting tab, enable or disable texture monitoring and shader highlighting (for performance reasons)
