We decided to put this to work ourselves and update our original Firefox Extension and also create a new Google Chrome extension at the same time. In both cases, you can now Digg stories as you browse the web, without having to come back to the Digg site each time.</p> <p><img src="/web/20100208075241im_/http://about.digg.com/files/imagecache/medium/blog/images/digg_chrome.png" align="right" style="margin: 10px;"/></p> <p>The new <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100208075241/https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/nphjpicjdnignjenbhkimpjjkpbidohb" target="_blank">Chrome extension for PC</a> packs a lot of basic features in a small footprint:</p> <ul> <li>The Digg count for any URL is displayed to the right of the browser's address bar. Clicking this reveals the title and comment count for that URL, as well as the button to Digg it. <li>There are several simple ways to share any URL, including Twitter, Facebook, and email. <li>Note: Currently, Chrome only supports extensions for PCs - Mac support coming soon. </ul> <p>In the case of the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100208075241/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8384" target="_blank">Firefox extension</a>, we made a bunch of improvements to the current version:</p> <ul> <li>To save space, we moved the Digg count and Digg button to the navigation bar, so the toolbar doesn't have to be open for you to Digg stories. <li>The toolbar itself is shorter and we've added a keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+E) to make it easy to show and hide it. This makes it really simple to check out the Digg story details for a URL and then close it when you're done. <li>We've made notifications of friends and popular story activity less intrusive by providing additional controls in the toolbar settings, such as notification thresholds and a smaller notification box. <li>Sharing via Twitter, Facebook, and email are easily done via the toolbar. You can also right-click on any page to generate a Digg short URL. </ul> <p>As always, we're looking for your suggestions and feedback so please use the feedback buttons in the extensions or <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100208075241/http://digg.com/contact/?contact-type=2">contact us directly</a>.
