Wow. So cool. I love offering a solution that could ultimate inform a change in their product in the form of a Chrome Extension.<p>In principle, however, I am not comfortable giving over control of a site that has financial information, and thus potential financial ramifications, to a chrome extension.<p>To echo other comments. If you made this for AWS though, id have no choice but to adopt. That site is too fucked not to accept any solution to clean it up

This is interesting, thanks for sharing.<p>I hope this doesn&#x27;t sound critical (because I like when people make a change for the better and share it), but before doing this, did you provide feedback to DigitalOcean regarding their menus? If so, did they respond?<p>Seems odd to me to create a Chrome Extension to change what would probably be a pretty minor change on DO&#x27;s end for everyone&#x27;s benefit.

Out of all of the virtual hosts, I would have pinned Digital Ocean&#x27;s to be the most simple to navigate.

I would love (and pay for) something like this for aws. Their website is a mess.

Awesome work. I actually built a chrome extension yesterday to fix the log work experience in JIRA because of its horrible UX. Funny to see someone else with a desire to hack together a chrome extension to get the experience they want. DO even implemented a change in response! Thats just awesome. Their UX is pretty decent IMO but it does miss the mark in some areas. Its funny working in software we know how painful it can be to get changes like that all the way into production, yet isnt it amazing the speed at which you can move when you are free from any constraints and dont have to worry about any backend stuff or frameworks... just bolt something on the front and boom.

I wonder how often a Chrome extension had to led to a feature implementation or bug fix?

Why not a Greasemonkey &#x2F; Tampermonkey script?

I&#x27;d also rename Droplets =&gt; Servers or Instances, and add a link for actual Notifications.
