Updated info .. I installed the above, (the cut down version) . but it had
no browser plugin that I could see, which made it not instantly easy to use
... Also when I closed the program I had some connection problem . it may
have been entirely coincidental of course ..
May I suggest you install Firefox browser and use this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201
I have not tried it .. but Firefox has many other very useful
Addons/plugins, so there is sufficient prior evidence to expect that this
plugin will do what you want.
