Full summary

A simple extension to bring Salesforce.com Chatter into your Chrome browser.

New: bug fixes.

Lets you view your news feed, post comments, like comments and posts and submit status updates. You can follow and unfollow users and groups, and even delete posts if you want. @Mentions, searching, recommendations are all available. Image previews. Even manage multiple Chatter accounts at the same time - including both Production, Developer and Sandbox instances as well as custom domains!

It's a great alternative to Chatter Desktop as it doesn't require Adobe Air to be installed on your machine and works across all operating systems.

All communication from the extension is over HTTPS direct to Salesforce.com, with no intermediary servers to interfere with your data.

This extension also lets you view posts across the whole company, not just your followers, which is great for driving adoption of Chatter as you can see new users posting for the first time.

All you need to get started is a Salesforce.com Chatter account.

ForceCORS is a Google Chrome extension which allows you to selectively apply CORS Headers to any web server responses you choose. This is extremely helpful when developing a web application that makes Ajax/XHR requests.

The extension requires you to specify the domains that you wish to monitor and allows you to explicitly define the headers to be added. This is preferable to completely disabling XHR security in your browser, which is a big security hole.

Regarding Permissions In order to allow you to append headers to ANY arbitrary location, this extension requires access to intercept ANY web request. However, by default the extension does NOT monitor any web traffic. Only URLs you specifically whitelist will be read by the extension, and only headers that YOU specify will be appended.

Note: Headers added by this extension will not appear in the DevTools "Network" panel due to a known Chrome bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=258064
