Hey,

So I have a question that might end up not being possible, but worth a shot.

I use GTalk & Facebook Messenger to talk to mostly everyone. I have an extension for chrome "Chat For Google" that allows me to have the chat window open no matter where I am. For the facebook I only have an extension that gives a pop up that tells me someone messaged me.

What I would like is an extension that combines Facebook & GTalk, and anything else people might use into one client, and be able to see the chat windows no matter where I am, like the Google extension.

Is this possible? I know there is the web based application imo.im but it does not have an extension that allows me to do that.

The second part which is a bit more complicated I think and might not be possible is to remove all other message systems when using this client.

What I mean is, you can find clients for Facebook, Pidgin and all those, but when I get a message from someone, it pops up in the client, as well as in Facebook. Is there no way to disable that, only allow it to work with one thing?

I hope that all makes sense?...

I don't understand why people don't read the thread before posting.

Why do you ask for help, then be a jerk when people try?

Might look at Meebo. Apparently, they just got acquired by Google, so maybe they'll have something coming out.

How am I being a jerk, I clearly state I know about IMO.IM and that it isn't what I am looking for and go on and explain what I want.

I am asking for help, not asking for information I already know. That's the point.

i did read it but apparently i missed that line my first read through :pinch:

and I don't think there is a solution to your 2nd problem due to how facebook has their messenger set up (i've tried to do similar things in the past as well and eventually gave up)

Thank you, and I was not trying to be a jerk by the way.

I had a feeling it was facebook causing the problem. Because I think with the Google Extension, only one conversation pops up.

yeah because even when using a full client linked with facebook like trillian or the others you still get the message in the facebook tab if you have it open

Facebook provides access to their chat service through XMPP. I use Digsby to access Facebook this way, and Facebook displays "Alerts are off while you use another client to chat" on the site to me.

Google Talk is also XMPP, so if you can find a client that allows multiple XMPP connections, it should work.

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Same for me. I find Adguard in general just OK. Ublock Orgin Lite works and works well. I use it on Chrome, Edge, and Safari on MacOS and iPadOS/iOS.

      I do not use the AdGuard extension. I have uninstalled both the uBlock and Stylus extensions, as well as the Tampermonkey extension, since I began using AdGuard for Windows 7 months ago. It does not use any extension APIs, it modifies traffic system wide using a local proxy. AdGuard performs all the functions of uBlock, as well as additional features such as HTTPS filtering, cosmetic (user scripts and user styles), as well as DNS. It works with any browser and application. I don't understand why you consider the desktop program to be useless...

      Should Google be forced to stop promoting Chrome over other browsers? Google pushes Chrome to anyone visiting its website using browsers other than Chrome.
    • Save 31% on Samsung T7 Portable SSD

      Save 31% on Samsung T7 Portable SSD by Taras Buria During the ongoing memory crisis, where RAM and storage get extremely expensive, it is hard to find a good deal on an internal or portable SSD. While we are far away from 2024 prices, Samsung is currently offering a big discount on its 1TB T7 Portable SSD, saving you 31% or $85. The discount applies to the 1TB variant, which, although not record-breaking, is still plenty for all sorts of data. The drive uses a USB-C port for universal compatibility and high-speed data transfer of up to 1,050 megabytes per second. Samsung claims this drive is nearly ten times faster than a conventional hard drive, plus you get all the benefits of solid-state memory, such as better drop and shock resistance. There is also the ability to password-protect the drive, and you get extra peace of mind with a limited three-year warranty. The Samsung T7 Portable SSD works with all modern computers and tablets, including iPhones, iPads, Android smartphones, and more. And thanks to the two bundled USB cables (Type-C and Type-A), you can use the T7 even with devices that lack USB Type-C ports. The T7 Portable is available in three colors and four storage configurations, but unfortunately, only the 1TB Titan Gray is discounted: 1TB Samsung T7 Portable SSD - $189.98 | 31% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.

      Plenty of nations have risen from the ashes of war and today they have high standards of living. Maybe the problem is that your government is run by corrupt and power hungry terrorist organizations that keep the country in the **** because all they care about is filling up their pockets and maintaining their power instead of actually managing the country for the benefit of everyone. Just ask Russians, North Koreans, Iranians, Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans, etc.
