Works great for Gmail, but I don't see the option to use my default mail client as mentioned in the description.

Must have. When you are on a page you want to share you hit the Red M button to the right of the URL in Chrome and up comes gmail tab window for you to send it off as an email. Couldn't be easier. TY
