User reviews
Seems to be ok. One thing I have noticed is that Chrome is a huge memory hog. The newest updates for chrome seem to have killed most of their bugs. I have no doubt that more will come with the next update. This extension is not to blame. It just report, nothing else.
It would be nice if there was a page that explained all the options and the difference between panel, bar, shelf.

If possible I'd like the option to turn off alerts for when available RAM is low
