WOT for Google Chrome Web browser

Google Chrome Good news for all you early adopters: You can jump ahead of everyone else and try the first release of the WOT add-on for Google Chrome. This one is for the geeky among us, so if you're game, all you need is a current development version of Chrome and the WOT add-on.

WOT icon in Chrome One small difference is where the icon is located. You'll find it in the lower left corner. The rating window opens a bit differently too, but you'll see it. Notice also that the add-on is released under the GNU GPL, so patches are most welcome.

We invite any feedback or suggestions you may have. Enjoy!

Re: Won't install for me. Says

You need to use the development channel of Chrome, it won't work on older versions. The earliest supported version is 4.0.220.1.

Toolbar Icon

Anyway to remove the toolstrip at the button after the extension has been installed? I like the minimal look of Chrome, and this kinda detracts from it. Maybe add an option for the toolstrip to autohide?

User picture

Re: Toolbar Icon

There doesn't seem to be a way to add or remove toolstrips dynamically at the moment, but perhaps there will be an option for users to disable them in future Chrome versions. If you like, you can always download the source code, comment out the "toolstrips" item from manifest.json, and use your modified version instead.

Re: Toolbar Icon

How would I compile it all after I modified it xP Thanks!

User picture

Re: Toolbar Icon

You can use the unpacked extension or create a new package. You'll lose any previous settings though, because the extension URL changes.

You can hide the toolstrip

You can hide the toolstrip by pressing CTRL+ALT+B (or some similar variation)
I prefer my toolstrips to be on the top (see the screenshot at http://thebrauergroup.com/labs/). To do this, exit Chrome completely. Find all your Chrome shortcuts, right click each one, click properties, then add "-show-extensions-on-top" (without quotes) to the end of the "Target:" field.

As an added bonus you can also sync your bookmarks across multiple computers with -enable-sync

So it would look something like this:
"C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -enable-sync -show-extensions-on-top

Profile synchronisation

Can't seem to synchronise my profile there at chrome :\
However, Sami, saw your screenshot in the WOT wiki.
You already have synchronised your profile.. How do I do that?
I tried to synchronise it but however, they said there was an error.
Now I cant seem to find the synchronise button, and manually keying in the synchronise URL on WOT does no good either :(

Re: Profile synchronisation

It should work, but there are some issues with the Synchronize feature and Chrome at the moment. Try clearing your cookies and restarting the browser, then try again. When you have pressed the Synchronize button and return to your profile page, what does the message say? What happens if you reload the page a few times?

User picture

Done

Yep, clearing all my cookies worked.

Can't see icons

I can't see the traffic icons next to the search results in Google although i do have a toolstrip icon at the bottom of the screen. I am using the latest Dev build of Chrome and have even tried uninstalling all my extensions as well as deleting the WOT folder in the Chrome install folder. Any ideas what is causing this.

User picture

Re: Can't see icons

Go to chrome://extensions and click the "Inspect" link next to background.html. Then click the "Show console" button (second from left at the bottom) to open the JavaScript console. Do you see any errors? How about when you do a Google search?

User picture

No there are no errors. When

No there are no errors however if a do a google image search about 3 of the images have a traffic logo but the rest have nothing. When i first used the extension it worked fine.

User picture

Re: No there are no errors. When

It could be that the local storage has been corrupted or the requests to our servers fail for some reason. You could try deleting the local storage file for the add-on from Chrome's User data\Default\localStorage directory to see if that helps (you'll lose your settings though). If that didn't help, contact us and we'll see if we can find the problem.

User picture

Ok thanks. Deleting local

Ok thanks. Deleting local storage and reinstalling extension seems to have worked.

When will the full version come out?

Re: When will the full version

It depends on which features are you missing?

User picture

Never mind I thought that

Never mind I thought that development channel was a beta thing.

User picture

Re: Never mind I thought that

Oh, if you mean the Chrome browser itself, then yes, version 4 is still very much in development. I'm not sure if there's a release schedule, but I suppose it's released as soon as it's ready.

User picture

Oh ! that's great ..

Oh! that's great ... i am expecting WOT plug in for Safari too....
There are many safari users .. Being a web-designer .. I also prefer Apple Safari sometimes.

I wanted to inform you that

I wanted to inform you that the Chromium team has decided to remove toolstrip type extensions from Chrome indefinitely. You can see their 'announcement' about it here: Issue 24475

Good luck and let me know if you need anything :)

User picture

Re: I wanted to inform you that

We already have a version of the add-on that uses the Browser Actions API, but there are still some changes that need to land in the dev channel before we release it.

User picture

Need to know

when will you make this official because i really dont like the dev version of chrome, but want to use it on the normal version.
