Bart, 2025-02-23With all the changes to the chromium world, many of the mailto extensions have stopped working. However, the cloudHQ app works. It does so by opening a tab of gmail, then opening a compose window within gmail. I don't like that it opens the entirety of gmail. But right now, this is the only extension I can find that will process a mailto link.
