Chrome Sniffer v0.2

 This blog is the announcement of Chrome Sniffer v0.2. After v.0.1.7, I stopped development for a while. Yes, I was too busy, too much work, too many things to worry about. But I receive a lot of comments about the extension, many articles, many suggestions, etc. These encourage me a lot, so I spent last weekend to work with a new branch of Chrome Sniffer extension.

The biggest improvement in v0.2 will be the extension itself. In previous version, the extension mainly worked based on DOM or HTML content. so it can't perform detection very well, or some time detect wrong applications, especially with sites use Javascript compressor. The v0.2 will detect applications by Object directly, the result will be 100% correct for all javascript libraries, and it's compressor-compatible too.

v0.2 will be able to detect more applications. I have added Typekit to latest release, many people want to be able to detect Typekit so much. I plan to implement to give version detect and CSS framework detect in future version, you will likely to see these feature available on v0.2.2 or v0.2.3.

Chrome should update the extension itself, if you don't have it yet, you can install it here. I hope the v0.2 will be more useful. And it would be great to hear any suggestion or comment from any of you. Contact form is always open :)
