Monitor Facebook Status Updates While You Use Chrome

20.05.2012
Are you a Facebook junkie? If so, you probably find yourself hopping back and forth between a Facebook tab and whatever else you happen to be doing in your browser. That's not terribly productive.

If you're a Google Chrome user, you can keep Facebook front and center with . This extension adds a Facebook status bar to the bottom of your browser, where it stays visible in every tab you have open. That way you can keep up with the latest messages, friend requests, and notifications, all without clicking away from your current page.

Here's how to get set up with MyStatusBar:

1. Head to in the Chrome Store, then click Add to Chrome.

2. Wait until you see a new tab, then click the Login to Facebook button at the bottom.

3. That'll open a pop-up window, where you'll click Log in with Facebook.
