There are tens of thousands of extensions provided by the community to empower the GNOME desktop environment. In order to install them via GNOME Extensions on Arch based Linux, we'll need some AUR (Arch User Repository) packages for managing extensions and browser integration.

Prerequisites

Install gnome-shell-extensions for managing and enabling/disabling extensions, and gnome-browser-connector (replacement for chrome-gnome-shell-git) for browser integration (works for both Chrome and Firefox):

yay -S gnome-shell-extensions gnome-browser-connector
Bash
