9 extensions that make browsing the web with Google Chrome even safer! (Download Squad)

Apr 14th 2010 6:43PM Hi again.
I just tested TrustGuard on the dev channel and it turns out google made a breaking change to the localstorage api (so attempting to load information from the cache crashed the extension).
I have updated the extension to handel the changed api.

9 extensions that make browsing the web with Google Chrome even safer! (Download Squad)

Apr 14th 2010 5:44PM Hi.
I am the developer of the TrustGuard extension for google chrome.
Im very sorry that it did not work for you.
I have not heard of any problems with the extension from any of my current testers. But the extension has only been out for two days and i have only been working on it for 9 days :-)
I have had a few timeouts from the TrustPilot servers. And if a site has no reviews or the server can't be reached, no icon is shown.
The reason why i love chrome is the minimalistic UI. I really dont want to clutter the UI with icons when i have no data to present.
When the extension is working you should get an icon when visiting sites like amazon.com.

The next version of the plugin will increase the local cache from 1 hour to 1 day. I will also be adding some kind of error indication when the TrustPilot server can't be reached.

I am also planning some level of content scripting like adding icons to google search results but that is further ahead.

I would like to know what version of chrome you are using. Stable, Beta or Dev?
I have only been testing on the stable release.

Kind Regards
Jens Schumacher
