Filed under: DigiChrome — Yann @ 12:04 pm

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

DigiChrome is Open Source, and available as source from http://gitorious.org/digichrome.
