GeoFeed for X — version 1.0.7

This folder contains the complete Brave / Chrome browser extension.
It is a browser extension, not a standalone Mac or Windows application.
No Node.js, Python, API key, subscription or build step is needed to use it.

INSTALL
1. Extract the ZIP and keep this whole folder somewhere permanent.
2. Open your browser's Extensions page from its menu.
3. Turn on Developer mode.
4. Choose Load unpacked and select the extension folder inside this folder.
   Select the folder containing manifest.json, not the outer release folder.
5. Open or refresh X, signed into your own account.
6. Use the GeoFeed button on X, or its toolbar menu, to choose regions and colours.

Keep the extracted folder in place while the extension is installed.
Brave and Chrome load the extension from that folder.

UPDATE AN EXISTING INSTALLATION
Replace the files in the previously installed extension folder with the new
extension files. Reload its existing card on the Extensions page, then refresh
all open X tabs. Installing a second copy is unnecessary.

FEATURES
- Choose any number of countries and regions, each with its own highlight
  colour. A country rule overrides a regional rule. New installations start
  with no highlights.
- Highlights appear automatically on timelines, Followers and Following pages.
- Following Audit and Followers Audit list the accounts on those pages, with
  their own country and region filters that are separate from your highlights.
- Matches Only, Show All, Pause and Exit controls; manual unfollows made on
  your Following page are tracked. GeoFeed never follows or unfollows for you.
- Optionally refreshes Home. The interval is a slider from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
- Advanced settings in the toolbar menu refresh the country cache, clear the
  cache, and clear the audit history.
- On first install, a notice explains how country checks work. GeoFeed asks
  X for About this account details only after you choose Allow country checks.
- Country checks happen gradually (at most 20 per 10 minutes, shared across
  tabs), with Followers and Following rows first. A missing country remains
  unmarked. The search text, name, biography and photo are not used.

PRIVACY
The package contains code, icons and these instructions. It does not include
any browser profile, sign-in session, account cache or personal settings.
Each recipient uses their own X session. GeoFeed makes extra requests to X
only, using that session; nothing is sent to Pocket Giant or anyone else.
Results and settings stay in the browser's local extension storage.

X can change its site or rate-limit requests, which may require an update.
