For all browsers: For those StumbleUpon fans who have adopted Google Chrome as their default browser, the StumbleUpon Virtual Toolbar remains the utmost solution for you to keep in touch with your numerous contacts and to continue to give thumb-ups to your favourite web pages – given that StumbleUpon for now does not have support for Google Chrome.
