Second Life Extensions on Google Chrome

On Google Chrome Web Store I did a search today for “Second Life” extensions and I was surprised that three results that showed up which you can add to your Chrome browser. Very interesting to find out there are “Second Life” extensions on Chrome and I’m not sure other browsers have any SL related add-ons.

Results for “Second Life” extensions!

• Second Life Friends – Users can check if their friends are online from any web page, instead of having to go through the tricky Second Life dashboard.
• (157 users, version 1.0 & updated 10th February 2010)

• Second Life Marketplace Helper – 1.Favorite Store Registration 2.Open Link in a New Window 3.Search in Deep Directories
• (104 users, version 2.5 & updated 12th January 2013)

• ChromeLife – ChromeLife uses your secondlife.com credentials to display useful at-a-glance information about your Second Life account, without requiring your username or password. Supported features include: – Online friends – Display names – Linden balance – Groups – Desktop notifications – Custom CSS – Map links

A search for “Linden Lab” extensions showed up 1 result.

• SLWishlist.com adding sl marketplace – This is a tool specially for Second Life users. With just a click of a button you can add products in your SLWishlist while browsing Second Life marketplace.
• (30 users, version 1.3 & updated 14th March 2013)

A small userbase for these extensions and not alot of reviews either. I think there needs to be more extensions for Second Life and more in other internet browsers too.
