DigiChrome – DigiKey Enhancements now has version 0.2 available through the Chrome Extensions Gallery. The extension will auto-update, but you must re-enable it when prompted for it to function. The permissions have changed in order to allow some new features to work.

New in this version:

1. Multi-page loading of search results – loads up to 20 pages in one search results page (configurable). Loading progress indicator is also displayed, and the Next and Previous links are updated to skip 20 pages at a time.
2. Get shareable links to search results and filter pages, shorten links with Bit.ly!
3. New options link on search pages.

Git repository
