Those days are now&nbsp;over.<\/div>\n<p>We haven\u2019t updated the Ahrefs\u2019 SEO toolbar for a while. It\u2019s been lagging behind features-wise for months.<\/p>\n<p>It also recently became incompatible with the latest version of Chrome. You may have noticed this if you tried to install it anytime in the past few months, and had to do so direct from the downloadable file.<\/p>\n<p>This was never the vision we had for Ahrefs\u2019 SEO toolbar.<\/p>\n<p>So, a few months ago, we decided to dedicate some resources towards fixing our toolbar. We also wanted to restore it in the Chrome App&nbsp;Store.<\/p>\n<p>But we don\u2019t like doing things by halves, so we decided to rebuild the whole toolbar from scratch. In doing so, we improved the UI and implemented a bunch of new features.<\/p>\n<p>Today, after months of hard work, we\u2019re proud to announce the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/seo-toolbar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new Ahrefs SEO toolbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can download and install this for Chrome <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/ahrefs-seo-toolbar\/hgmoccdbjhknikckedaaebbpdeebhiei\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>,&nbsp;and for Firefox <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/ahrefs-seo-toolbar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s different?<\/h2>\n<p>In this release, we tried to incorporate as many of your requests as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these relate to UI\/UX, although some of you requested that we add more data to the toolbar.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s everything that\u2019s new:<\/p>\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-aywi352p8ni\" style=\"max-width:900px;\" class=\"arve\">\n<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n<div style=\"aspect-ratio:500\/281\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.200000%\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer 'none';autoplay 'none';bluetooth 'none';browsing-topics 'none';camera 'none';clipboard-read 'none';clipboard-write;display-capture 'none';encrypted-media 'none';gamepad 'none';geolocation 'none';gyroscope 'none';hid 'none';identity-credentials-get 'none';idle-detection 'none';keyboard-map 'none';local-fonts;magnetometer 'none';microphone 'none';midi 'none';otp-credentials 'none';payment 'none';picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create 'none';publickey-credentials-get 'none';screen-wake-lock 'none';serial 'none';summarizer 'none';sync-xhr;usb 'none';web-share;window-management 'none';xr-spatial-tracking 'none';\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-aywi352p8ni\" data-lenis-prevent data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/AyWi352p8NI?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505.8\" loading=\"lazy\" name referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/AyWi352p8NI?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" title width=\"900\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>1. It\u2019s fast, <em>very<\/em>&nbsp;fast<\/h3>\n<p>Users of the old Ahrefs\u2019 SEO toolbar will know that it was slow,&nbsp;<em>really<\/em>&nbsp;slow.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason for this was that it would load data for every tab you had open upon activation. So if you had more than a handful of tabs open, your browser would freeze, which was annoying.<\/p>\n<p>The new Ahrefs SEO toolbar solves this problem by only loading data for the current tab, and new tabs. It will not load data for existing tabs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ahrefs-toolbar-faster-loading-1.gif\" alt width=\"929\" height=\"499\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-135686\"><\/p>\n<h3>2.
