StumbleUpon for Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, and More Now Available

It took long enough, but at least it’s happened now. StumbleUpon has seen the light of day, and decided that it might be a smart move to create a version of their popular toolbar that works without installing anything. That’s right, no add-on or extension needed!

How does it work? Right now they have a web-based version of the toolbar that essentially embeds itself at the top of the sites you visit while stumbling. If you want to use this, however, they recommend becoming a registered member and joining the Beta group. By doing that you should be given access to the web-based toolbar immediately. Once you’ve done that try browsing to a category, and then click on the category title to start stumbling in that particular category. Alternatively you can give it a quick whirl just by stumbling this article using this link. You should immediately be able to see the toolbar whether or not you are logged in or registered.

This web-based toolbar still isn’t as nice as the full-fledged add-on since it doesn’t let you do things like quickly switch categories, but it will still make for a great time killer. Plus the fact that it works in Opera, Google Chrome, Safari, and just about any other browser should help make a lot of people happy.

    It’s definitely something a lot of people have been waiting for. This is probably the best way for them to offer cross-browser support, but it might be easier for bots to “game” the system now.

    Good idea. I hate having to install various toolbars. I tolerate Google Toolbar in IE but rarely use IE.

    @incognito:

    I feel the same way. The more toolbars I download into my browser, the slower they seem to get. I like to travel light and fast.

    Huh, I didn’t think about that. What they should do is detect your browser, and then adjust the skin accordingly. Now that would be awesome.

    Did you try using the link I provided in the article, and I also mentioned how you can join the Beta group.
