Address Bar Sharing - inconsistent/unexpected URL fragment addition
I have been doing some testing ahead of implemting AddThis, #
based on the current understanding that functionality is browser restricted
i.e. should only work for FF 4+, Chrome 14+ Safari 5+
On testing:
- Chrome v19&20 didn't add tags on PC or Mac at all
- Opera v12 added tags on PC
Both contradict behavioural expectation.
Can you advise why, please?
Also, why is Chrome showing in my analytics whe it appears not to be working?
We created 4 test pages that you can look at.

It looks like you're overriding the address bar configuration. In this screenshot - http://i.imgur.com/uCE3p.png - you first set the addthis_config variable to enable address bar sharing and then override it to set the language to French, which disables address bar sharing.
1) Regarding overriding the address bar config in http://i.imgur.com/uCE3p.png
Is there a way of setting French language while keeping address bar sharing?
2) How does this explain Opera adding tags when tags should not work for Opera?
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = addthis_config||{};
addthis_config.data_track_addressbar = true;
addthis_config.ui_language = 'fr';
</script>
Opera has added the History API to their browser, so that's why it's working now. I've updated our documentation.
