The FTA Buddy Chrome Extension is a valuable tool for users of the FTA Buddy app. This extension acts as a data bridge, connecting the official field monitor to the FTA Buddy app. With this extension enabled, users can scrape real-time data from the FMS field monitor and view it in a mobile-optimized interface.

One of the main advantages of using the FTA Buddy app with the Chrome extension is the reduction in SignalR connections. By using the app instead of opening another field monitor on your phone, you can minimize the number of connections and potentially avoid any instability issues with FMS.

To ensure consistent performance and data synchronization, it is important to keep both the FTA Helper app and the Chrome extension updated to the latest versions. This will ensure that you have access to all the latest features and improvements.
