Geocaching.com Friends Logs

A browser extension that displays your friends' geocaching logs at the top of every cache listing page. Never scroll through hundreds of logs again — instantly see which friends have visited a cache and what they thought about it.

Features

• Friends logs first — Your friends' logs appear at the top of cache pages
• Your own logs — Optionally display your own logs separately
• Configurable limits — Choose to show 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 friend logs
• Clean design — Matches the native Geocaching.com interface
• Privacy-focused — No data collection, all preferences stored locally
