User reviews

is it possible to enter your bitcoin address, so you can check the balance in one click? right now this is just a link to the webpage, it has no purpose as an "extension".

Finally, official BitRef extension for Chrome.

I have to check many bitcoin addresses per day and this helps me a lot.
