Hi all, We're happy to announce the first release of the WOT (Web of Trust) add-on for Chrome. You can learn more about WOT and download the add-on from our website:
http://www.mywot.com/wiki/Chrome The add-on requires a current development version of Chrome and has been tested with version 4.0.221.6 on Windows. Some implementation notes: * We currently use a toolstrip + mole for the toolbar button and the rating window. Browser Actions look promising though and we're looking forward to using them in future. * The add-on includes translations to 14 languages and 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. * Some features are still missing compared to our other platforms, but we plan to address them in later releases. There are also a few things we hope to see in future versions of Chrome: * API for managing cookies. We want to set cookies for our site before the user visits it and currently have to resort to an extra XMLHttpRequest to do so. * API for cryptographic primitives. This would save add-ons from having to use their own JavaScript implementations. We would especially like to see an API for hash functions. * API for URL parsing and IDN conversions. While doable in JavaScript, it would be nice to offload these tasks to Chrome, which must have them implemented already. * The Browser Actions API is interesting, but we would like to see variable height pop-ups. It looks like the current proposal calls for the pop-up height to be fixed in the manifest while only width is determined dynamically? * It would also be nice to eventually have an API of some sort for blocking access to websites, possibly by intercepting HTTP connections. We would love to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have. You'll also notice the add-on is released under the GNU GPL, so patches are most welcome too. Enjoy!
