Title: BTC Mempool Fees Extension for Firefox/Chrome browser
Post by: dkbit98 on January 13, 2024, 07:04:05 PM

What is this tool?
This is simple web browser extension add-on showing and monitoring Bitcoin Mempool Fees in ticker icon on your browser toolbar using multiple websites sources.
It is Open Source, very small size and it doesn't use much of your browser resources.


What is Bitcoin Mempool?

Quote
The Mempool is a “waiting area” for Bitcoin transactions that each full node maintains for itself. After a transaction is verified by a node, it waits inside the Mempool until it’s picked up by a Bitcoin miner and inserted into a block.

Where can I get it?

For testing on Firefox browser you can install it from official Mozilla store:

For testing on Chrome or Brave browser you can currently install it as unpacked extension.
Download Package (http://e.pc.cd/DTSotalK) and unzip package, enable Developer mode in Chrome extensions and Load unpacked extension.
You can use it normally like any other extension.


I would appreciate any constructive feedback, help and suggestions.
Ideas for future dev updates:

Nice tool. My extension bar is getting bigger  :D I have to try on Chrome to install

I have using the Bitcoin price ticker on Chrome, also very useful for quickly tracking the value of Bitcoin.

Not an extension, but a useful tool for this forum.

I will share my tool that always shows the updated mempool data.

Have never tried this extension tool in a browser to see mempool fees, but often use Telegram bots, namely TryNinja (https://t.me/BitcoinFeesAlert_bot)

I myself am more comfortable with this bot, it can save our blocks that have not been confirmed, when they are confirmed there will be a notification from the bot

Sometimes I prefer to go directly to the mempool site to see the fees.  :D
but I think this tool is useful.

I use something similar for bitcoin price but most of them are not showing exact value for bitcoin anymore because of space limitation.

Are you using mempool.space source or something else?
Your tool is very nice for forum, but I needed something to show me fees constantly in browser, and I can manually select between 3 different sources.[/size]
