Less clicking. Less consenting. Just Enough automatically chooses clear “Reject optional” or “Necessary cookies only” options on supported cookie banners.
Open Chrome’s puzzle-piece Extensions menu and pin the extension.
Store installations receive updates automatically. No ZIP extraction or Developer mode is needed.
Already installed a manual ZIP version? Disable or remove the unpacked Just Enough before using the Store version to avoid running both copies. Reapply any website exceptions in the Store version.

Keep this extracted folder. Chrome reads its files from here. Moving or deleting it after installation can stop the extension working.

Choose Just Enough
Click Load unpacked. In the folder picker, select the extracted Just-Enough folder containing manifest.json, then click Select Folder.
Choose the extracted folder, rather than the ZIP file. If you see another folder called Just-Enough inside the one you opened, go into that one until you can see manifest.json.
Just Enough should now appear on the Extensions page with its switch turned on.
05 / REFRESH & PIN
That’s it. Start browsing.
Refresh any websites you already had open. It starts automatically on new pages. When a supported banner appears, it looks for a clear refusal or necessary-only choice.
For easy access, click Chrome’s puzzle-piece Extensions icon, find Just Enough, and click the pin beside it.
The extension’s popup lets you turn automatic rejection on or off, pause it for the current site, or check the page again. A toolbar check mark means it clicked a choice; it doesn’t independently verify how the website honoured it.
GOOD TO KNOW
A little care goes a long way
Unclear banners stay manual. The first version recognises clear English choices and some preference flows. It won’t handle every website.
Earlier choices stay as they are. This doesn’t undo previously accepted cookies, delete them, or block tracking scripts by itself.
No tracking or remote service. The extension processes banners in your browser and stores its settings locally.
Why does Chrome give it access to websites?
It needs access to ordinary HTTP and HTTPS pages to recognise cookie banners and click the appropriate choice automatically. The same access lets its per-site pause work for cookie banners inside frames. It doesn’t request Chrome’s cookies, history, passwords, or downloads APIs, and its code makes no network requests.
A banner is still showing. What should I do?
First refresh the website, then check that automatic rejection and “Run on this site” are on in the extension’s popup. Try Check this page again. If the banner stays, choose its cookie settings manually. Some layouts, languages, protected browser pages, and embedded components aren’t supported.
How do I update it?
If you installed from the Chrome Web Store, Chrome updates it automatically. The following steps are for a manual ZIP installation.
Download the newer ZIP when one is released and extract it. Replace the files in the same permanent Just-Enough folder you used to install it. Open chrome://extensions, click the reload icon on the Just Enough card, then refresh your website tabs. The manual ZIP version doesn’t update automatically. Chrome Web Store installations update automatically.
How do I pause or remove it?
Click the pinned Just Enough icon and switch off Automatic rejection to pause everywhere, or switch off Run on this site for the current hostname. To remove it, open chrome://extensions and click Remove on the Just Enough card. Pausing or removing it won’t undo cookie choices already made.
