User reviews
it does what I need it to do...for the most part. really disappointed that it's not more like the Firefox version, though. that one will list all marketplace options right from the drop down on the header rather than making me go to the marketplace to find these things. it will also tell me which items I own and which items are on my wishlist right from marketplace search results.

This really made coding posts so much easier to do. Yes the announcement thing has gone wonky, but that's easily disabled if it gets irritating.
