Really useful. It syncs your snippets between browsers via Github Gists. For those saying they clicked on the icon and see nothing, that is correct, the extension is only accessed through the console. Option + ⌘ + J (on macOS), or Shift + CTRL + J (on Windows/Linux), you'll see the Snippets tab at the top of the dev tools pane.

Does nothing. Installed, got the icon, clicking it gives me the context menu with "Snippets" but clicking that brings me to this page. Useless.

Awesome extension! Just lost all my snippets from Chrome on my old computer. Wish I'd had this before. Reading through some of the older reviews it seems these issues have been fixed (Github integration, ES6 linting).
