BitTorrent announces Chrome Extension for torrent discovery and download
- Toshio 14y agoThat's nice. If anyone has the time or inclination to look at the source, I'd be interested if this extension phones home in any way.

- marioestrada 14y agoBesides application tracking, no identifiable/compromisable data is being sent.
- Andrex 14y agoSounds like another gap of functionality on Chrome OS is about to be filled. Edit- Doesn't seem like it works on ARM Chromebooks yet, probably uses Native Client and not PNaCl.

- marioestrada 14y agoNPAPI, the extension should soon be released for Firefox and Safari. The torrenting part is done via Btapp.js/Torque.
- Andrex 14y agoAh, NPAPI. It'd be nice if it switched to PPAPI soon so my Chromebook could run it.
- mtgx 14y agoDoes ChromeOS support PNaCl now? I think they said it was coming by the end of 2012.
- Andrex 14y agoI believe it's enabled on ARM Chromebooks, ahead of the others because it's the one that really needs it. I know that the Secure Shell app uses it, and Netflix will soon as well. Maybe it isn't enabled but certain apps are whitelisted.
- ysangkok 14y agoIt wouldn't work if it was using PNaCl, the client support is not there yet.
- lolnope 14y agoNot available on Win8 x64?

- toyg 14y agoReviews are scathing. I'll probably give it a pass, am fairly happy with Transmission.
