This extension adds a button to your Chrome toolbar that lets you quickly preview new posts with a click.

The toolbar icon will also display the number of items you have yet to read. When there are no new items the icon will turn grey.

When a new post is published you'll get a Chrome notification bubble alerting you, though these can be turned off in 'Options'.

Unread items have a red 'bookmark' logo to the right.

To read an item just click its title or thumbnail to go straight to the post on OMG! Chrome!

To mark all posts as a read click the 'Mark All As Read' text at the bottom the extension window. To mark a post as read without reading it simply click anywhere under the title.

Whoa, what's up with the new permissions? Reading and changing data for a wp site? Say what now? Sorry, but that's a loser.

I loved this extension because it kept me updated on the COS. However the comments are screened because of spam listings and my legitimate comments are not appearing. Please do not censor legitimate comments!
