Free Chrome extension for tracking MRs across GitLab — built with GitLab as a first-class platform, not an afterthought

Builder here, being upfront. Free, no backend, no sign-up.

Most multi-platform PR tools I've seen treat GitLab as a checkbox feature behind GitHub. I wanted something that handles GitLab properly:

- Reads head_pipeline for CI status (no extra calls)

- Counts unresolved discussions correctly (only resolvable && !resolved notes)

- Pulls approvals state, deployments by SHA, and diff stats from /changes (and detects the overflow flag so it doesn't lie about huge MRs)

- Works with self-hosted GitLab — paste your instance URL and it just works

- Desktop notification + sound when pipeline status changes — no tab required

- Merge from the popup

Auth is a regular PAT with api + read_user. Token stays in chrome.storage.local, never leaves your browser.

It also works with GitHub and Bitbucket if you (or your team) span platforms.

Genuine feedback welcome — especially from anyone on self-hosted, since I can only test against gitlab.com directly. Link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pr-radar-%E2%80%93-github-gitlab/hkombgibegjffiadmekpiabdakkoidmh
