This tutorial provides the steps to install Chain’s Genocide addon on Kodi. The addon works on any device with Kodi, including Fire OS devices such as FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, Fire TV Cube, Nvidia Shield, Android TV sets, Raspberry Pi, Computers, mobiles, and more.
What is Chain’s Genocide?
Genocide is a multipurpose addon for Kodi. This addon offers you options to watch on-demand videos, such as movies and series. In addition, it lets you stream live TV, documentaries, standup comedy, concerts, and more.
The addon was formerly called Genocide. It has now been rebranded as Chain’s Genocide. Only the name has changed. Everything else remains the same. I will refer to this addon as Chain’s Genocide and Genocide interchangeably in this guide.
You can install this addon from a popular repository, The Crew Repo. This repository is also home to streaming addons like The Crew, Homelander, Ghost, and more. The repo also hosts several Kodi builds. You can easily set up Real Debrid and Trakt with Genocide.
Attention KODI Users: Read before you continue
Government and ISPs endlessly monitor your online activities using your IP address 54.36.149.247 (exposed to everyone). Kodi is an excellent platform for streaming movies, TV shows, and sports, but streaming copyrighted content can get you into legal trouble.
You should use a reliable Kodi VPN and protect your streaming activities and privacy. A VPN will hide your IP address and bypass government surveillance and geo-restrictions.
I trust and use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure Kodi VPN. It's easy to install on any Kodi device, including Amazon FireStick, PCs, and Smartphones. In addition, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and 3 free months with the annual plan.

Is Genocide Safe?
Genocide is a third-party Kodi addon. Third-party Kodi addons can be unsafe for a variety of reasons. To begin with, these addons are created by independent developers and may not go through the same rigorous testing or security checks as official addons do. This lack of scrutiny increases the possibility of vulnerabilities and malicious applications compromising your device’s security.
However, I scanned the repository through a malware-detecting tool. The virus scan of the Crew repository through Virus Total shows it does not contain any malicious programs. No security vendor flagged the repo zip file as malicious. You can check out the image below:
Is Chain’s Genocide Legal?
The addon employs scrapers that fetch streaming links from several unknown providers. There is a huge chance you may end up streaming videos from an unauthorized source. This could be a legal issue. Unfortunately, FireStickHow.com lacks the means to determine if Genocide is a legal addon.
You have nothing to worry about if you are watching only public-domain videos. However, the best way to stay out of any trouble and maintain your privacy is by using a VPN like ExpressVPN. This VPN will encrypt and hide your streaming activities completely.
How to Install Chain’s Genocide Kodi Addon
The installation of Chain’s Genocide or any other third-party addon requires a bunch of extra instructions. In the following steps, you will learn how to sideload the Genocide addon on Kodi. The process is straightforward. However, the additional steps may make it appear confusing. I am breaking the process down into smaller parts. All you need to do is follow each step carefully. You will have the Genocide addon within a few minutes.
Part 1: Sideloading Permission for Genocide Addon
Kodi does not let you sideload third-party addons unless you grant permission. To enable sideloading, follow these instructions:
1. Open the Kodi Settings window from the home screen (by clicking the cogwheel icon under the Kodi logo).
2. Go to the bottom right and select System.
3. Navigate to the Add-ons tab and turn on the switch for the option Unknown Sources. By default, this option is disabled.
4. A quick warning appears. Don’t worry about it. Click Yes to move ahead.
5. On the same window, select the option for updating the official addons, as marked in the image below. This step is not mandatory. However, it would be a good idea to do it while you are here.
6. On the popup, choose Any repositories. This option ensures that the addons remain up to date all the time.
You have permitted to sideload Genocide.
Part 2: Add the Repository URL for The Crew Repo
To install the Genocide addon from The Crew Repo, you must first install The Crew Repo. Follow the instructions below to add the URL from where Kodi will install the repo:

Disclaimer: This URL points to the web location where the Crew Repo is hosted. FireStickHow.com is not connected to the developers and does not host any third-party repositories.
5. The input text box for the media source name is empty. Select the box to type a name.
6. I am typing the name Crew to represent the Crew Repo. However, if you want to identify the source with any other name, please go ahead and change it. Click OK to confirm the change.

Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on Kodi. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. They use your IP address 54.36.149.247 to track you. Streaming free or copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, you can use a VPN to easily protect your privacy and go invisible from your Government and ISP. I use and recommend ExpressVPN with Kodi.
