GTPlanet Extension Now Available for Google Chrome

Each month, over half a million people visit GTPlanet using Google’s Chrome browser, making it the most popular way to access the site. Now, it’s going to be easier than ever for Chrome users to stay on top of news from the “world of Gran Turismo” with GTPlanet’s new Chrome extension!

Available for free on the Chrome Web Store, the extension places a small icon in your browser’s window. When new content is posted to GTPlanet’s blog, you’ll receive a small notification in your browser, and the icon will display a small red badge indicating new content is available.

Clicking on the extension’s icon will show you all the latest stories, along with quick links to various areas of the site, including GTPlanet’s Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages.

If you aren’t yet using Google Chrome, you can download the browser for free, then click here to install GTPlanet’s extension. Chrome has been gaining popularity among Internet users over the last few years for its simple design and speedy performance. I personally use and highly recommend it.

All credit goes to GTPlanet user Chase (cbabb), who developed GTPlanet’s Chrome extension and kindly donated it to the community. To thank Chase or submit any feedback or bug reports about the extension, you can contact him here. Thanks again, Chase!

    downloading it now! ;) and Google did a good job with its browser! I do recommend it also, but dont forget about Firefox its also very good. And I will still support and use it as second browser! ;)

    Keep up the good work updating the site, although I’m not a Google chrome user, those who do use it may find this very useful.

    I’m not exactly sure why, but whenever I go to the Feedback section, the Banner, Tabs, and “GTPlanet” logo at the yop disappear and are replaced with blue-font links… I don’t know if it’s an issue with my computer or Safari… It’s only the Feedback tab, never on the “News”, “Forums”, or “Library” tabs.

    This is great as I refuse to use Firefox or IE as I’ve had bad experiences. Well done yet again Jordan :cheers:

      Yes. That’s a plus for the people who like to be first to comment. I see it as you’re always the last person, no matter how many comments rack up.

    Nah! I’d rather pay frequent visits to my favorite site for my favorite game. Besides I’d rather keep my browser as lean as possible without much cramping it.

    I like it, because I’m lazy and don’t go to the homepage too often. Thanks to ‘Chase’ & to ‘Jordan’ for this, makes life simpler.

      I switched over from Firefox a long time ago. I’m so glad I did.

      The bad thing is deleting bookmarks by accident. I have to regularly (sometimes) Export my Bookmarks to keep from accidentally deleting a bookmark I need and not knowing what it was exactly.

      Just about everything else SEEMS better to me on Chrome, even the Bookmark Manager, than on Firefox.

    Downloaded and thank you very much!! Very useful! no need to check every 5 minutes about some topic of interest. ;)

      An extension for Firefox is planned. However, it requires a lot more time, work, & knowledge. I have to learn a few more things before I just jump in. Chrome has received all it’s popularity due to how simple it is.

    This is actually pretty damn cool xD It works smoothly, personally I think it would be cool if it became more of a twitter like ticker that showed posts to threads you had subscribed to or something as well :P

    1. cbabb

      Interesting idea. But this most likely won’t be included. I am aiming away from anything that requires a user to login within the extension.

    1. ghsnu

      I agree-switched from Firefox to Chrome…never going back :D.

      But Explorer is by far the WORST web browser I’ve used.

    2. TomBrady

      so is chrome really the best?

      I’ve noticed it’s faster than explorer but it’s horrible at blocking pop–ups. And yes I have it set to block all pop ups, some still get through. With IExplorer, I get no pop-ups at all. IE seems more secure overall but it’s slower and it started having trouble reading all those stupid “captcha” things, and that’s why I moved to chrome. Chrome also seems better with flash

    I wondered if after the app, an extension to a browser would show up. I guess i was right. It works fine on my end. Nice Job.

  11. NEXLVL

    Absolutely brilliant application for the best Web browser out there. Google Chrome has been a blessing for me on many occasions. It is very efficient and user friendly. If your not using it. You should be.

      I watch GTPlanet’s forums and the rest of the Internet for relevant news. Readers also send in news tips.

    1. ImprezaAddict

      Probably not. If people love the site enough to install the extension for it, they won’t stop coming to visit the forums and the rest of the site.
