Choose the right result

When the search results appear, click the very first link. This will typically direct you to the official page or a trusted source for the correct extension. Selecting the first result helps you avoid unreliable or unsafe sites.

Go to the Chrome Web Store

After clicking that first link, you should arrive at a page with instructions or options. Look for the link marked under number two and click it. This link takes you to the official Chrome Web Store page for the IDM Integration Module.

If you need a different approach because the Web Store is restricted, you can follow a manual method to add the IDM extension.

Add the extension

On the Chrome Web Store page, you will see the IDM Integration Module listing. Click the blue Add to Chrome button to start the installation. A prompt will appear asking for confirmation.

Confirm and verify

Click Add extension to proceed. Allow a few moments for Chrome to download and install the extension. When it finishes, an IDM icon should appear near the top right of your browser, confirming it is ready to enhance your download operations.
