PageRank Display

This extension gets the toolbar PageRank of the page open in the current tab. If it fails it tries getting the PR of the hostname instead, and if that succeeds it shows the PR followed by the letter h. If neither succeeds (if the site doesn’t have a PR or for some reason the extension isn’t working as it should) it will show a greyed-out question mark.

Possible values are 0-10, 0h-10h as well as ? if something went wrong. This extension generates the hash itself and does not rely on any external sites to fetch the PR for it (except Google, of course). This does not make it slower, however, it’s by far the fastest PR extension I’ve ever used.

When you click the extension icon it will bring up a popup/overlay with links to several things interesting when analysing a site, such as pages indexed by Google, Alexa information and backlinks from Yahoo! Site Explorer.
