Summary

This is the only official Outpost extension, which instantly alerts you via desktop notifications when you have new notifications on the website. In the background, the extension will poll for updates every 60 seconds, and show a small notification when you have new posts on your trades or replies to your offers!

This extension requires access to your cookies only on the Outpost network websites, as well as access to 'tabs' so that it can open trade pages when you click a button. We do not use this extension to access your browsing history at all - that's one of Chrome's permission system flaws.

We recently added trade offer scanning, which monitors your trade offers in the background and sends you notifications on-site and in the browser extensions when you receive new offers. We'll also analyse the incoming offers against your open trades and inform you whether they match.

Outpost for Chrome™ is currently available to all users of the website, and the only requirement is that you are logged in so that your notifications can be fetched. This means that you must stay logged in while your browser is open, otherwise you will not receive notifications as expected.

User reviews
It is quite a helpful extension. I do have one question though. Must chrome be open for this to work?

No problems what so ever. I find it easy to use & I don't have to keep a tab open & refreshing it. Been using it ever since it came out.
