Hangouts Notifications

Add Chrome notifications to hangouts

Open source Extension which adds Chrome notifications to Hangouts tabs.

It supports multiple hangouts instances at the same time (for example if you're using both Gmail and Inbox).

Notifies you when:

  • A contact becomes online
  • There's a new chat message

Remember! You need to keep your gmail, inbox or hangouts tab open for the extension to work. I am not affiliated with Google in any way, so it's the best that I can do :)

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Hangouts Notifications requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
  • Medium ******* ******* ************* ***** *** ** ******* *** **** ******* ****** ******** *******
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Hangouts Notifications may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
