The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Upvote First for StackOverflow

Chrome extension that sorts StackOverflow answers by your upvotes. Open source https://github.com/jossef/stackoverflow-upvote-first Why I did this? --------------- I find myself re-visit StackOverflow questions I've already read. When there are multiple answers (and approaches to solve something), I upvote my chosen answer Some time later, I find myself re-visit that question. Since I want to spare that research i already did in the past, I try to find the upvoted answers made by my user (to get an acknowledge by myself). Scrolling down? ---------------- What bothers me in this process is the fact that answers aren't always at the top and i have to scroll down to the bottom to see them. That's sucks. Therefore I made this chrome extension that re-sorts the answers by your votes. For instance, if you upvoted an answer and revisited that question later, it will appear first in the answers list Background ---------- I suggested this feature on Meta StackExchange. However, upon this day I still waited and it seems this might not got the attention of their Product Manager. Since I see StackOverflow as an important tool in my daily routine, I implemented this chrome extension as a weekend project mainly to help myself and other developers be more productive :+1:.
