How can Dash to Panel be installed on Ubuntu 22.04.3?

Asked by Ken

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/

-I've installed gnome extensions or shell.
-I've downloaded the Dash to Panel zip file. This file is downloaded dash-to-paneljderose9.github.com.v59.shell-extension.zip
-I've rebooted Ubuntu
there's no option to move the Top Bar thingy into the Dock down the bottom...it wastes previous space and blocks dragging windows along monitors.
-The documentation doesn't help, just says how to use CLI to install gnome shell or extensions.
-Can't find a clear video guide on it, the install just works on videos but not on my Ubuntu.
-Chromium browser has GNOME Shell installed.
-Ubuntu Dock has been moved by Ubuntu's Settings to the bottom and autohide
-It's this superfluent Dash Panel thingy at the top of Ubuntu, taking up valuable monitor space and bumps windows when I drag them from monitor 1-3 and vice versa. The top panel thingy needs to be merged into the Dock at the bottom.
The Dash-to-panel website says I've install GNOME Shell integration is running.
-I ran: sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell sudo apt-get install gnome-browser-connector
-Chrome extensions says: GNOME Shell extensions website Has access to this site
-I'm researching what Extension Manager is https://itsfoss.com/extension-manager/, however this seems to not solve the issue and rather than this work-around, I'm sure there's a clearer path with fewer steps to install and run.

For Chrome-based browsers install the extension using then Chrome Web Store.

I suggest to uninstall the extension that you currently have first.
Then install through your browser's web store.

You can report an issue with Github on the extension's problems.

1. I successfully ran the Ubuntu 22.0.4.3 command $ sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell, as sudo apt-get install gnome-growser-connector shows error: E: Unable to locate package gnome-browser-connector.

2. GNOME Shell integration has been added to Chrome.

3. Not really sure what error to report on GitHub? It seems the instructions from the original website https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/ might need some clearer steps.
If I can figure out how to install the Dash-To-Panel, I might write up how to install.

The issue remains.

There is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YxsvC6YYKg
Have you tried following it?

I've watched several videos several times, however the issue remains.
I've done everything up to 4:18, where Dash-To-Panel shows the error 'Although the GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer to the documentation for instructions about installing connector', rather than showing the ON/OFF toggle button.
The documentation says to run command $ sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell, which I have done.

Do not use the website, due to wrong and missing steps. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/
Install Gnome Shell Extension Manager:
Ubuntu -> Terminal -> sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager.
Download Dash To Panel:
Ubuntu -> Dock -> select Show Applications -> select Extension Manager -> select Browse -> select Downloads -> enter dash to panel -> select Install -> automatically merges dash into the Dock.

My post #5 solved the issue, but there's no option to select 'This Solved My Problem'.
