Top 10 Gmail Chrome Extensions for 2025 Productivity

User reviews

Checker Plus for Gmail™ is a useful Firefox extension that notifies users about unread emails and supports multiple accounts with handy email management features like marking read or deleting. However, recent updates introduced a $20 paywall for basic customization features, which has upset users. Some also report inaccurate unread email counts and occasional sync bugs. Despite these issues, many find it effective in keeping them on top of their inboxes.

Pros

Supports multiple Gmail accounts
Allows marking emails as read/unread/delete
Helps users stay on top of their emails
Convenient and useful extension

Cons

Recently locked many previously free features behind a paywall requiring $20 USD
Basic customization options like themes and button visibility are now premium features
Some users report the unread email count is inaccurate
The extension can be buggy with sync issues after reading or deleting emails
Leaving placeholders for premium features visible in the menus is frustrating
