Extension summary

A simple extension that checks your Gmail inbox and displays the unread count with a nice icon/badge. Also, sound notifications available. Probably one of the few that let you choose the feed you want. 'Primary' or 'All e-mail' are the ones available! Supports the new Inbox from Google and you have up to two accounts at the same time being checked password-less, which is great!
