Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by TtWEAK on July 23, 2009 ·

I use the extension Fission, which has a feature to show the active link in the address bar instead of the usual location. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with your extension. I think these two extensions could work well with one another though. I would like to see this extension show me a star instead of the one Fission would show if it is a bookmark. I actually think this could be incorporated into your extension for non-Fission users as well. Feature requests aside... I tested Link Status without that option on in Fission and it works like it says, very handy.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1).

Thank you for your review! I confirmed that Link Status conflicts with Fission when the “Active link/mouse-over link in the address bar” option of Fission is enabled (no star icon, incorrect URL in the location bar). I will try to make them work together when I have some time. I cannot promise it, though, because it might be difficult. Keep your fingers crossed.

To be more precise, I will try to make Link Status show its star icon on the left of the address bar instead of Fission’s icon of a box with an arrow only in the case where Fission is installed and the “Active link...” option of Fission is enabled. In the other case, I do not think that showing the star icon on the location bar is useful or intuitive.
