Today we’ve released the brand new Transaction Monitor feature to all Pingdom customers. This new check type is immediately available in your my.pingdom.com control panel.

But Chrome has one huge disadvantage compared to basically every other browser out there: Really, REALLY awkward bookmark handling. And this is completely unnecessary.

Let us explain… and propose a solution.
