I've been trying out this extension for a few days.
What I would really like to see from this extension is a 1-click way to sign any message I'm writing, anywhere on the internet. Along with that would be the ability to verify that a keybase signature found in the wild belongs to a particular keybase user. Then I can initiate out-of-band discussions with the author of a comment on someone's blog, not just with a Reddit or Hacker News poster.
Having the keybase chat button appear next to posts on sites like Reddit, HN, etc. seems like a great step toward a "metaweb" platform as well. For example, I could let someone know about the typo in their post via keybase chat, rather than polluting the public comment stream.
I second this. Rough sketch: detect a text input I'm tying in, add a little button that says "sign and send", which when clicked adds a signature to the message and submits. If the extension sees this on a forum, verify the sig in the background and inject a little check mark next to the username if it checks out.

Very excited.
