There is a new CREST resource for tracking a characters location which means that can be done from outside the client and no need for the IGB, :D
Except that it doesn't actually work most of the time while IGB tracking does. If CREST would actually work reliably instead of on paper it would be less bad that IGB is going away.
But even then it's going to be bad unless there is a way to link to in game fittings and similar that is very convenient with IGB right now. |

The location tracking has been rock solid for me since we fixed the last few defects with it. Been using it in combination with Pathfinder (the WH mapping software) for a while now with no problem.
I've been trying to use it with pathfinder and on Friday (2016-06-17) it worked for a bit with regular reloads of the pathfinder, but since then it doesn't work at all. IGB version has worked perfectly every time.
Not sure what it is (I'm just a user) but with that level of functionality it's basically non-existing functionality. If you can give me some advice on how to troubleshoot the issue I can help out with it. |

That's why I'm using pale moon and vivaldi. But that doesn't really fix the problems with CREST not working properly nor issues for people with one monitor.
On-top functionality for a normal browser might actually be a lot better solution than any kind of weird overlay browser as they all look like malware peddling sites to be honest. |

Except that tons of people are reporting issues with that part of CREST (for me it works once in a blue moon). As long as CREST is unreliable as it seems to be right now the tool is dead.
And all that still doesn't solve the issues of, crazy but we still love them, fullscreen users. |
