Extension summary

Heads up: I made this back in sixth grade (I'm a sophomore in college now) and I'm not sure I even have the signing key for this extension, so if there are any bugs or reliability issues, an update is (probably) not going to happen. The reason this seemingly-duplicate extension exists is that back when it was written, the older Chrome versions that didn't support the modern Chrome-specific notifications API were still kicking around, so this one was written to use the WebKit notifications API instead.

This is a simple but useful extension that displays a small notification with the current weather conditions at Chrome startup and at every hour afterwards. The zip code may be set in the extension's options page.
