Neither Chrome or Windows version recognized my Galaxy S3. Followed all the steps, installed universal ADB drivers, enable debugging and PTP

Solid extension. Unlike most start screen replacements, it doesn't seem to cause any sluggishness. Can't seem to get the App button in the lower corner to take me to the apps page, but that's a minor complaint.
