How do I install the Dianwu Chrome extension? Can I post WeChat without it?
AnswerDianwu does not log into WeChat, Toutiao, or Eastmoney for you. Install the Google Chrome extension on this machine and write drafts into the consoles you already opened. Open Settings, download the zip, unzip it, turn on developer mode at chrome://extensions, and load the unpacked folder. Without the extension, cloud sync cannot ship.

Chrome only; install once
The extension supports Google Chrome only. Open Dianwu in Chrome and download the zip in Settings. Sign into Dianwu in the same browser, then open each platform console. Settings will show when the extension is ready.
A new zip often unpacks to a new folder. Remove the old Dianwu GEO extension, then load the new folder once. Do not keep both. Do not commit the folder into a client repo.
What needs the extension
WeChat, Toutiao, and Eastmoney drafts go through the extension; see How do I sync one master draft to many platforms?. Douyin image posts need it too. Some Xiaohongshu flows are local as well. Ads fulfillment is separate: Are paid media and ads included in the plan?.
Writing, mention checks, and video do not need the extension. Only “write into someone else’s console” does.
