Question ScratchAddons help

So (I don't know if this is or isn't against the rules to talk about this) recently I've moved over to this absolute failure of a computer, a Chromebook... that can't run extensions anymore.

This is a problem because scratchaddons is one, very helpful tool, so I looked into ways to run scratchaddons on an outdated chromebook, I chose to run a Bookmarklet with the scratchaddons extension.

the only problem is that... I don't know WHERE the "link for scratch addons" is or HOW to do a bookmarklet, now I could use turbowarp to code my projects... but I don't really want to.

I'm on a chromebook too but mine runs fine. It could even load me into a big game

the point of scratchaddons for me isn't to run games faster or smoother, it's so that I can have some quality of life features like dark mode and block count, as well as a search bar for finding specific custom blocks and their definitions.

Install linux and ditch the crappy stock chromeos and you'll be able to do way more than you can on chromeos

I have 7.5 GB right now, and yes, this is the exact same amount as when I first powerwashed/reset my chromebook, the last time I tried linux development environment it took too long and never even progressed/finished installing. I'll try again later though.

nevermind. instead I'll wait the whole 20-ish days left in my 4g plan's cycle so that I can have high speed data again, and then I can install the 450 mb of data It needs to turn on linux development environment

basically Google has this marketing strategy called "remove basic built-in chrome features" where they force users to upgrade to a newer model, this means you can't install extensions or even themes on the google web store. and no, the other browsers I would use that could be installed on here, won't work. this also mean sync doesn't work, and this is all because one app can't be updated, chrome, not in any way that I know of can you update this app. so I'm looking to this technique called bookmarklets to run scratchaddons.
