Steemit More Info is a great extension and I have a lot of respect for @armandocat and his work. He didn't show up for over five months however and the Steemit interface has changed since then.
Since his code is opensource, I have decided to fix it and integrate it into my extension SteemPlus. Our code structures being very different, this was a two men jobs for several weeks but we're finally done.
The major features have been implemented, read on to learn about them. Installation information at the end. SteemPlus is available on Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
The update will be live in less than an hour.
DISCLAIMER :
If you keep using both SteemPlus and Steemit More Info after the update, you might have some duplicate features. To fix that, either uninstall Steemit More Info (recommended) or go to SteemPlus settings (on the extension popup) and disable Steemit More Info features.
New features from SMI :

Detailed features
Login via SteemConnect
Before accessing the SteemPlus features, you first need to connect using SteemConnect v2. SteemConnect is very safe and is the standard way to give access to Steem Apps.
Simply click the gray SteemPlus logo and it will start the login via SteemConnect. Follow the instructions and add your private key. Once done you will be redirect to the page you were before and see that the SteemPlus logo has turned blue:
Congratulations! You now have access to all the features!
Dropdown
Adding two new functions to the user dropdown on Steemit:
- Direct access to Market
- Base price from the blockchain
- STEEM/USD price (Coinmarket API)
- SBD/USD price (Cryptonator API)
One click switch
Voting slider for Minnows
To access the voting slider, click on the popup and go to Upvote tab, make sure the url corresponds to what you want to upvote and click Upvote. For a comment, first click on the date to change the URL.
From the same popup you can also access the options to turn on and off the features.
True account value
On both Steemit and Busy, you can check the true value of your account (based on current value of SBD and Steem rather than an average).
Delegation button
You can find the delegation button in both Steemit and Busy wallets:
Simply fill the form and you will be redirected via SteemConnect to confirm. Note that you can undelegate directly from there and see who are your delegatees. If you undelegate, you won't be able to use your previously delegated SP during 7 days.
Beneficiaries
On Steemit you can now add beneficiaries to your posts and decide which percentage of your post they will receive.
Note the following:
- Beneficiaries rewards will be perceived on SP only
- @steem-plus will get a 5% reward
- You cannot exceed 100% obviously
- You cannot exceed 6 beneficiaries
Badges
Wanna see what your Steem rank is, as well as others ? The badges are here for you!
FeedPlus
I kept the best for the end!
Filter and sort your feed at will with Feed+

Hope this helps!
I am working on SteemPlus on my free time because I think it can make Steemit/Busy better by adding some features. If you like my work, please upvote and resteem so that I can keep doing what I'm doing. Thank you ;)

guess no
Will it be updated to 2.5 automatically on firefox, or do I have to reinstall every new version?
On Firefox I think that you need to update manually.
Btw, it was buggy on Firefox, I just pushed a patch, version 2.5.0.3, available within an hour.

Hey @stoodkev thank you so much for this! I've been waiting for this for a long time.
It looks like there is one feature of SteemIt More Info that is not included in SteemPlus, and it's one that I particularly like - it makes the info shown at the bottom of the post like the tags, votes, and other buttons sticky so you can see them even before you scroll to the bottom of the post, here's an example:
Hey, glad you like it!
I will work on adding it ASAP =)
This is hands down the best I have seen so far lol seriously, these features though lol I really like the slider bar.
Ooooh, now I understand this. Because most of the time you give less-percentage votes... I don't know why it was so hard to wrap my head around. Lol.
Super nice! I hope one day the Firefox version lets me log into Steem+ with Steemconnect so that I can use the addon. :D
Should work on Firefox starting with version 2.5.0.3, available within an hour.
thats the feature I use most
Wow amazing thanks for your hard work! This is exactly the kind of thing we've needed for a long time and good to see someone is actually doing something about it! I think if left to certain other people then Steemit would just meander along because of certain incentives or lack of incentives. Big thanks to @jerrybanfield as he gets it and knows user friendliness for Steemit is absolutely paramount and thanks for his budget allowing good for ALL here!
hanks, very good post !!!!
Awesome Work!
Keep it up!!!
@cryptoinvestinfo
I can't logiiiiinnn :((( Steemconnect redirects me to https://steemit.com/@steem-plus?access_token=TOKEN&expires_in=604800&state=https%3A%2F%2Fsteemit.com%2F%40steem-plus&username=cryptosharon
Then Steemit just loads the @steem-plus profile and the extension does nothing. :( I really wanted to try out the new stuff on Firefox.
Firefox always has some bugs with native Chrome extensions, I ll take a look and see what I can fix. In the meantime, it works like a charm on Opera and Chrome.
I can't use any of those :( I'm on a very slow computer and Chrome kills it. Firefox is the only light enough browser for me to use without my computer starting to roleplay as a brick.
We ll try to fix it by next week
Thanks, glad you like it! @jerrybanfield and @utopian-io sureley helped a lot!

Thanks for this. I just tried to test it in firefox (latest win 10) and the plugin installed ok, but after I logged in to steemconnect, I am taken to your profile but I am not logged in. When I click on the plugin icon in firefox I just see the same login button and no matter if I login again, the plugin never recognises the fact.
Hi, indeed we seem to have some issues with Firefox, that didn't show up in developement mode, I guess it s because of the use of Chrome Foxified, I ll do my best to make it work in the coming week!

Should work on Firefox starting with version 2.5.0.3, available within an hour.
This is awesome!! I didn’t know anything like this was available. I will download the chrome extension and check out all the new features!! Thanks for the hard work and great update!! Resteem

Loooooool hahahhaah
I didn't know there were still bid bots that voted on comments. And for the user to use it knowing that it leaves a comment. :3
How about, Steemit takes that and integrates it directly in the UI?
On peut toujours rêver ^^ J ai vu plein de PR sur le Github de Steemit qui ajoutent des trucs pas mal mais n ont jamais été implémentées. À la base, j'aurai préféré contribuer directement comme ca, mais bon on fait avec ce qu'on a !
(Je me trompe pas, t'es français non? )
Au passage super boulot avec steemian.info , je l'utilises tout le temps pour voir la position de mon witness. Je suis curieux de savoir quel est le critère pour qu un witness soit exclu de la liste (en rouge barré ).
On peut discuter sur Discord ou Steem.chat si tu veux, plus pratique =)
OMG @steem-plus I love you. I currently use both and thank you so much for combining them!
This is aweeeeeesome, you can't even imagine how grateful I am. Now I don't have to go to different tabs.
I've been sharing it to anyone I know and this is total PRODUCTIVITY.
It's not much but I gave this 100% upvote and you got yourself a witness upvote too!
Thanks a lot, every vote counts =)
Looks very good - I had been wondering what had happened to Steemit More Info.
Can I just confirm - does @steem-plus take 5% of all post rewards if we install this?
And if we then have this installed when we post to DTube will a total of 30% of post rewards be taken - 5% to steem-plus and 25% to DTube?
Not all posts, only if you use "add beneficiares" property.
Exactly it s only if you add beneficiaries =)

Hi @stoodkev - thanks for the clarification on this point.
It looks like an extremely useful tool. Thank you for developing it.
Hey, glad you like it!
I will work on adding it ASAP =)
Hmmm, I'd use another tool for that, then... if I found it lol. (Or if I made it, but I'd need some time to program it)
If you think those 5% for beneficiaries or too much to pay for this otherwise free tool that took thousands of hours of development, you can check steemwhales

Finally! Nice work @stoodkev, so happy this version got released, works like a charm and love the colouring. Easier to read.
Thanks mate! I m happy it is finally out! Glad you like it!
Holy cow! This is a huge update. I'll have to point all the new Steemit users I have recruited to this tool now as it simplifies so much for them.
Thanks for your hard work and development on this plugin!
I haven't managed to use it on Firefox :( I wish I could. It looks really good.
You re very welcome =) And thanks for directing them to SteemPlus =)

You are definitely getting my witness vote for this work.
Wow dude this is really awesome. I don't understand why all of those features are not on site without the need for an extension.
My primary intension was to contribute to Steemit repository, but after seeing that they almost never merge the pull requests, I understood that it had to be done that way.
You like my work on SteemPlus? Please consider voting for me as witness here.
This is beautiful mate, way to go and really glad that you guys are making it happen in taking Steemit to the next level.Trying it now :)
have a question too mate, why isn't it possible to integrate all of the above in steemit itself without having to say, download an extension ...
Because sadly, Steemit developers do not care much about adding those features.

Do you think about offering your plugin for the brave browser, the new project of Brandon Eich the former developer of the firefox? It is the fastest browser now. Look here: https://brave.com
Brave looks good, is my default browser at the moment.
SInce firefox is now working to stop "fakenews" i found that out very concerning, i think IT IS ME that should decide what is fake and what is not, not someone else, if i want censored views of the world i just have to tune on the news on the tv ( dumb box )
SteemPlus looks superb! bow down to this work! i do not want to miss all his features like the amount of votepower in a upvote ( can i choose the amount? :o )
This will be very handy to newbies like me to understand it better, i will try to play with brave and see if i can get the extension working used the method @stoodkev pointed out. I am not a developer but i would like to see this extension working with brave!
Thanks for the info @stoodkev, and for the hard work you and all the other(s) i don't know about, like @armandocat ! have put to develop this !
i will check that honey thing described in the link you provided :)
i am a brave newbie as well :)
cheers!
@sublimate
When it comes to politics, I am a member of the german labour party. So I hate all these stupid fake news of the neocons, ultra nationalist and so on. But I am ready to fight for their right to freely say whatever bullshit they want to say and for the right of every other to decide what he wants to read or believe in.
if it have i will take a look at this as well. current im using brave alot
I have many friends that use it, so it would not be bad at all!
wow you do comment alot lol
I do not have time to develop it myself but the project is opensource, so any developer who want to implement it can contact me to join the project. In the meantime maybe this can be useful.
You like my work on SteemPlus? Please consider voting for me as witness here.
Thank you for this tip. I will support you as a witness. Steemit needs talented devs like you.
I came here to also suggest they try to get it supported in the Brave browser. The community feedback for extension requests can be found here: https://community.brave.com/c/feature-requests/extension-requests
Awesome work! I was still using the buggy steemit more info plugin until now so I am very happy to see all the features working again!
One more suggestion: How about an indicatior icon for any link going to an external site (not steemit/busy/mspsteem/..)? This would help to prevent phishing.
Quite a good idea, I ll study the feasibility, thank you!

Yup. So much stuff! I particularly love the busy-fication of the votes section. I check all votes and percentages all the time on busy, so having it on Steemit is a blessing to many.

Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your vote! I ll keep up with the good work, no worries about that ;)
@steem-plus thanks so much... My chrome will be more interesting and more enthusiasm to write.
The new changes are phenomenal! Love it. This is now probably going to be my most recommended steemit app. Thanks for all you do. Definitely getting my witness vote.
Thanks a lot! We ll keep working on making it better!
Really great stuff! I discovered SteemPlus just this week and have been enjoying the additional features. I particularly love the ability to selectively turn off certain features! Sometimes with everything on at once it is information overload.

Do you have some time to help me learn how to contribute on Utopian.io?
I'm a C# Web developper used to big internal complexe web sites and not quite used to the Open Source world, but I guess I can help somewhere ;)
Worst case, I got few good ideas for some interesting use cases, I can translate and report bug.
Thanks in advance and again great work in 2 weeks that's a lot of work ;)

This is all good stuff. But this happens to me a lot on steemit.com
Do you access steemit on workplace or home? If suspect this could be due to firewall or proxy settings at your work or office network.
Exactly. This seems like a network problem more than Steemit or Steem+.
I access steemit only on my phone. And I don't think I have made any settings for firewall protection. It temporarily subsides if I restart my phone
As @techstack says, it seems to be a network issue
In sooo excited for this and cannot wait to use it. I wish it worked in mobile to!
I wish it could too, but mobile browsers don t accept extensions as far as I know.

For someone new to Steemit.. These blogs are helpful. Because right now Steemit is confusing? Does anyone else feel that way?? or is it me lol. I find it hard to even find these extensions or apps or whatever you call them.. When I try to go into Discord to check out Minnow support.. I have to use the search bar to find it.. Is there a better way to get around to find theses helpful resources? I'm so confused
