Official StumbleUpon extension hits Google Chrome, not as good as other versions
StumbleUpon has officially landed in the Google Chrome Extensions Gallery, but I've got to say -- it's just not the same as its counterpart on other browsers.
In fact, it's little more than the browser-independent toolbar you see on the top of links shortened and shared with their su.pr service. It does tie in to your StumbleUpon account and let you thumbs up/down pages, share them with your friends via email, Facebook, and Twitter, but the whole experience just isn't as smooth (or fun) as I find the Firefox or IE toolbars.

True, submitting new stumbles and receiving shares is a big part of the experience -- but it just feels to me like "something" is missing."We've also heard some claim the Chrome extension is no different from web stumbling. Actually, Stumbling via the Chrome extension is quite different from web stumbling in a number of important ways. For one, you can receive shares directly in Chromebar; for another, you can add your own discoveries. Also, frame-breaking sites do not remove the Chrome extension; and the overall Stumbling experience is faster and more responsive. Good stuff, huh?"
What do you think? How does the Chrome extension stack up?

I have to say, I like it better on Chrome than Firefox(never used it on IE). It's there when I want it, and gone when I don't(I even hide it on my bar when not in use).

My biggest problem starts with the normal getting a lot of the same websites come up over and over again, this I don't mind usually as I just click stumble before it completely loads. However with the chrome bar I have to wait until the site is fully loaded or sometimes even longer. That and even when you do get to use the bar it's very unresponsive.

No 'search' feature to enter your own topics??? The rest I don't mind.
