User Reviews

Users praise core notifications and multi-account support, with a lightweight, unobtrusive design. However, many reviews highlight recurring issues: UI button visibility after updates, Read/Trash and other actions becoming unresponsive, and missing notification sounds. Update regressions and perceived lack of active maintenance are common concerns, though the addon remains useful and long-running for Gmail alerts.

Pros

Very handy and reliable Gmail notifications.
Notifies about new messages only, keeping things minimal.
Supports multiple Gmail accounts and allows managing emails from the popup (read/delete/reply) without opening tabs.
Lightweight, simple, unobtrusive code.
Overall positive sentiment; long-term use and usefulness are repeatedly noted.

Cons

UI buttons disappear in minimal window and may require resizing or expansion.
Updates can regress functionality (e.g., Read/Trash tabs stop working).
Core actions like mark as read or delete are frequently unresponsive.
Notification sounds sometimes disappear, leading to silent emails.
Ongoing maintenance concerns and perceived lack of developer responsiveness.

Is Gmail™ Notifier (restartless) Safe?

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.

Gmail™ Notifier (restartless) requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
