    Unzip it somewhere permanent

    Double-click the .zip. Move the ChartSkins folder that appears to Documents (not Downloads, which people often clear). Chrome runs ChartSkins from this folder, so keep it.

    Open your extensions page

    Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter. (Edge: edge://extensions · Brave: brave://extensions · Opera: opera://extensions.)
