Version 0.7 uses the Browser Actions API.

The Chrome add-on is still under development and may be missing some features present in our other add-ons. It is usable though and we encourage anyone interested in Chrome to test it.

Requirements

The add-on requires a current development version of Chrome (≥ 4.0.220.1). It's been tested on the Windows version of Chrome, but should also work on Linux and Mac versions once their add-on support reaches the same level.

Terms and conditions

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

Please notice that the Terms of Service apply to all WOT services. If you use the software or the API as a part of your own application or redistribute and modify the software, the API Terms of Service apply too.

Downloads

You can install the add-on if you are running Chrome or download the source code in a more convenient format even if you're not.

After installing, you can always update to the latest version by opening chrome://extensions in Chrome and pressing the "Update all extensions now" button.

Development notes

  • We currently use a toolstrip and a mole for the toolbar button and the rating window, but will move to Browser Actions as soon as the API has been finalized.
  • The add-on determines the user interface language using the i18n.getAcceptLanguages API. Therefore, depending on your configuration, the selected language may not match Chrome's user interface.

If you are interested in participating in the development process, you are welcome to email us patches for improvements and bug fixes.
