Chaddon is a browser extension that detects an active tab’s url and connects you with other users currently browsing the same domain to a dynamic chatroom.
This project has been developed and maintained by Michael Pierre, Evan Davies, Geoff McCollam and Marco Beltempo
Although Chaddon is still in its early stages, the team plans to have the extension publicly available in the Chrome Webstore by late April 2018.
