Chrome Extension for UA Expert Mode
Hi All, Just came across this Extension in the Google Chrome Web Store:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...dklpb?hl=en-US

I've found FT postings for the Wandering Aramean's plug-in, but I have not seen this one mentioned on FT. It offers great visibility to buckets. To use, you must have Expert Mode enabled. Seems you must be logged in to get details to properly display. To install, use the link above in Chrome and install.

Once installed, the different fare buckets display as usual, with an upgrade table shown below and alert buttons on the left. Enjoy!

(Apologies if this is mentioned elsewhere in FT...)

Seems to not work if you use https and search securely. I use the https everywhere extension which does that for me automatically, so this plugin is not working. With https everywhere disabled, it works. I submitted a bug report.

Was this fixed? What is the workaround I can use here?

Nope. Last update on the plugin is still Aug 6. I've uninstalled HTTPS Everywhere as I found it was causing other problems, though. Specifically, it made the back button stop working correctly on a lot of sites.

Can you share what you did differently?

I have the extension installed and only regular results are returned.

You need to be logged into your UA account and have expert mode enabled. To enable Expert Mode, log in, go to this page, and select the Expert Mode checkbox.

Great find!
Makes combing through flights and looked for your fare bucket a whole lot easier. Great for finding your bucket for SDC!

Thanks!

I just double-checked that the above process works on my new laptop here where I hadn't yet installed the scripts.
