A new Chrome extension for Meerkat brings features from the mobile app to the Web so you don’t need to jump onto your phone to be fully immersed in a stream.
Meerkat Plus, an unofficial extension for Chrome, adds chat to the Web interface, along with the ability to like, retweet or comment on a stream. It also fixes Meerkat’s current bug where portrait view doesn’t work so well in your browser and ends up stretched.
The add-on automatically detects Meerkat streams in your browser and works its magic; it also adds a button that allows you to view a random Meerkat in case you want to lose more time.
