The social media giant Facebook has introduced two new Google Chrome browser extensions along with a small nifty design change in its social plugin button on the website and app.
The new Chrome extensions going by the name 'Share to Facebook' and 'Save to Facebook' are pretty self-explanatory. The 'Share to Facebook' extension allows users to share any link on Facebook wall, groups, or Messenger easily without opening the main Facebook website.
All that a user needs to do is to click on the small Facebook icon in the address bar, something that would show up only after installing the extension, and share them via the sharing dialogue. In addition, users can also select particular text and then click on the Facebook button to share it. Another way to share the webpage via the extension is by right + clicking anywhere on the page and selecting the "Share this webpage to Facebook" option.
As for the 'Save to Facebook', the tool is nothing but a Google Chrome browser extension of the same 'Save on Facebook' feature that the company introduced at its F8 conference earlier this year. The extension enables users to save articles, videos, products, and other content in their private save list.
This save list can be accessed via the Facebook website. On the news feed page, it can be seen under the 'Favourites' option. or the design changes, Facebook has tweaked its social plugin buttons including Like, Share, Follow, and Save to Facebook. The new buttons are not only mobile-friendly but now also have a cleaner design, and are backward-compatible. Backward compatibility here means that third-party website developers can easily use these new plugin icons without much hassle.
Facebook additionally mentioned that in the coming weeks "Instant Articles publishers will be able to add Like, Comment, and Share buttons to the bottom of their Instant Articles, and interactions with these buttons will be included in aggregate Like and Share counts."
Facebook recently rolled out new features for its users on Apple's iOS mobile operating system. While the first feature automatically generates slideshows out of images and videos, the second is an addition to the company's Facebook Events feature that lets users access hand-picked Events, including the ones that are not on Facebook.
