Features
Mastodon instance switcher
Clicking the extension icon lets you open a currently viewed post on another instance. On the extension settings you can specify one or more instances you use and want to switch between.
Each instance domain (omit the http or https protocol) goes on a separate line.
Tag browser
When viewing a tag page on Mastodon, a link will be added to the plugin pop-up window that lets you browse the current tag across a larger portion of the fediverse using the Fediverse Explorer, another tool I've developed.
Experimental features
Profile hovercards
This feature is on Mastodon's roadmap, under "Exploring" as "On-hover information cards for users", but you don't have to wait!
Note that this feature is under active development and you will need to enable it in the settings. It is currently only available in Chrome.
