G M (ID: 000000205faaec9a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/06/2018 This extension was working fine up until about 2 months ago. At that time it stopped providing Market Overview information and just recently, since around mid-March 2018 it no longer gives me my mining statistics. It is probably in need of some updating to get it to work again. Before it stopped working I would have given it 4 1/2 stars.

Brian (ID: 00000097f344939b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/28/2017 A little more useful than a bookmark. An inline counter showing a statistic like current market value in btc would be a killer feature.

Per Knutsen (ID: 0000000d51407d27) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/01/2015 Nice design. unobtrusive and informative. Some statistics, such as blocktime, difficulty, last block and blockreward seem more geared towards miners. Would be nice with a 'miner' mode where these stats are displayed, but otherwise not. Great job!
