In August 2016, Google announced its intent to discontinue support for Chrome Apps on all platforms other than Chrome OS. The plan was to start discontinuing apps starting in mid-2017 with most apps being completely unusable in early 2018. The driving factor behind this decision was that Chrome apps were “not being used” – Google cited that less than 1% of users have ever installed a Chrome app.
This sucks for the miniquad world – we may very well be the 1% of users Google was talking about. Most of us use at least 3 Chrome apps regularly: Betaflight Configurator, BLHeli Configurator and Blackbox Explorer.
This week it looks like the hammer has dropped. All three apps can no longer be found on the Chrome Store using the built-in search functionality, and we suspect permalinks to them will be going offline shortly. Fortunately, the amazing developers in our community have not been asleep at the wheel – a workaround is available.
Betaflight Configurator and Blackbox Explorer are now available as standalone applications. They can be downloaded from the following locations:
Betaflight Configurator
Betaflight configurator can be run as a standalone application on Windows, Mac and Linux. It can be downloaded from the releases page on Github:
https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases
https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases
Once downloaded, unzip the application somewhere on your computer. There is currently no option to install Betaflight Configurator as a conventional application. You must double click the executable from the unzipped folder to start the app.
Betaflight Blackbox Explorer

Betaflight Blackbox Explorer can be installed as a standalone application installer for Windows and Mac. It can be found under the dist/ directory on Github:
Download the set-up executable for your OS and install as normal. The application can then be started from your OS’ launcher.
BLHeli Configurator
As of 12/11/2017, BLHeli Configurator is not offering a standalone app. If this is not rectified by Google’s closure date for the app store, Windows users can go back to using BLHeliSuite. If an app becomes available, we will post it on this page.

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.
Betaflight Configurator had been a Chrome Extension App since the very beginning (following Baseflight and Cleanflight). We prefer the Chrome App platform because it’s cross-compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

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.

- For Windows, download the file with “.exe” extension
- For MacOS, it’s “.dmg”
Once you’ve downloaded the package, unzip it to your computer, and you should find the executable file “betaflight-configurator.exe“. You can run it directly without any installation.
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.
Then unzip the file, open Chrome, go to Extensions, make sure Developer mode is turned on.
Click Load unpacked extensions, browse to the folder you unzipped, click OK, and that’s it! The configurator will require the unzipped files to run so you can’t delete it.
This is not a standalone version, and it still relies on Google Chrome, but at least it gets you going and won’t require installation, or giving you malware warnings.
