Updates the BPC Chrome extension (installed via "Load Unpacked" in Developer Mode) after verifying the SHA-256 hash of the extension’s ZIP file. On match, the script extracts and updates the extension.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Verifies the SHA-256 hash of a downloaded file from (https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bpc_uploads) against the hash in [release-hashes.txt](https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean/blob/master/release-hashes.txt).
# 1. Downloads the hash file from the [HASH_URL] and extracts the expected hash for the correspondent [FILENAME].
# 2. Downloads the zip-file [FILENAME] from [DOWNLOAD_URL] and calculates its SHA-256 hash.
# 3. Compares the calculated hash with the expected hash.
# 4. On match, prompts the user to move the file to a permanent location [DOWNLOAD_DIR].
# 5. Moves and extracts the file if confirmed; otherwise, deletes the temporary file.
# Note: Before running script, replace [DOWNLOAD_DIR] with permanent location on your computer that you use for your extension, excluding the extracted folder name [EXTRACT_DIR_NAME].
