Not sure what the supported list of browsers for DevNet is, but I would guess it includes browsers that are not as modern as to support HTML 5 features.

html5 unsupported browsers can always default to flash, only few IE versions I guess. I think most of us are already onto the latest greatest browsers and if someone is not, they should upgrade..

This extension is for Chrome anyway, and Chrome is as up to date as it gets, I guess. :-)

yes for chrome extn it would anyways work with html5, but the object in question is the animated MS flash badge, now I proposed that be redone with html5 instead of flash (and flash be used only for the older browsers)

I have the same experience... :) But when I got a new machine I really missed this extension from my Chrome so I have installed on the first day.

About flash mad scientist badge in extension. I've asked Vass to change it to png. Flash is not fully stable at linux and it sometimes brokes up.

I have received the same error but after restarting chrome several times it seems to be working now.

Anyway, thanks Vass, this is really great work!!!

VCsala What is your version of chromium?

DenisKormalev · wrote on 22 Apr 2011, 12:09

Yep, confirmed about restarting. But I've also updated browser after it.

I use Chrome on Windows XP (11.0.696.50) - Anyway it works now, even the new pages.

Just got it working again, was broken after updating. But a reboot seems to have fixed it.
Excellent work again!

Something is wrong with the plugin. It behaves so badly, that I have had to disable it completely. Look at this screenshot:

The memory usage is through the roof. What's more, is that clicking the icon yields this:

Hi Vass

I have installed ands removed the extension several times. In between there was a problem reported to connect to some url, when trying to access the options. This seems to be solved with just some patience.

However, where should I input my DevNet ID?
The options menu is a little rudimentary with "Refresh rate in minutes", "Show post tab", "Show wiki tab" and the possibility to save.

What is the trick I am missing?

BTW: Chrome is running on Win7 (64bit) and is version 10.0.648.205.

Best regards, Hans
