If you're not a fan of the process to sideload Android apps to your BlackBerry from a Windows PC or Mac, there is an alternative way that is a bit easier to manage.

A simple Google Chrome extension can have you sideloading apps galore in just a few minutes.

This method is really the easiest we've found and, aside from some time setting it up, loading up apps takes just a minute or two.

While we originally posted about the PlayBook App Manager back in December, it's definitely worth taking another look at since it not only works on the BlackBerry PlayBook but also the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10.

So if you are a Chrome user and want to sideload apps the easiest way possible - then this is for you.

To get started you'll obviously need to be using Google Chrome. If you don't have it then go download it.

Step 1 - Install the Chrome extension

Head to the Chrome Web Store and search PlayBook App Manager.
