These instructions are for HONcode Status v0.8 (or earlier) and HONlookup v0.4 (or earlier). Versions above 1.0 include an uninstaller. Be careful though, as improper uninstallation could break your browser installation! It is recommended to backup you global Mozilla chrome folder (e.g. for Mozilla on windows, usual path is 'C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\chrome') before doing any change!

Note: Uninstallation instructions are adapted to the browser your using.
