Google has recently announced to stop support for all Chrome Apps. Therefore the Betaflight configurator, and a few other multirotor related apps have developed their own standalone apps. In this article I will show where to download the standalone Betaflight Configurator.

Apart from Betaflight Configurator, many other relevant apps such as BLHeli Configurator and Blackbox Explorer will also be affected. Fortunately the developers have come up with a solution and offer users standalone apps which they can run without Google Chrome. These apps are also compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
You can no longer search for these apps in the Chrome Web Store as part of Google’s effort in disabling the whole platform. It’s probably a good idea to move over to the new apps as soon as you can.

If you get a security prompt, just select “Run Anyway”.
The same procedure applies to other configurators, except Blackbox Explorer which currently comes as an installer that you need to install first on your computer before running it.
Note that the standalone applications do not update to newer version atomically, and you will have to do this manually. For the convenience of the users, a popup will appear on startup of the configurator when there is a new version available, and you will be directed to download page.
If you can’t install and run Betaflight configurator as a standalone app, you can also try installing it manually in Google Chrome Browser.
Firstly, clone the repo, downloading as a zip on Github.
