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
