Desktop program does not open at all on my computer. I downloaded the web extension only to find out that it would not auto complete on the /eml command in the tutorial.

Happy user of typedesk. I have used typedesk now for around one year. A simple way for me to stay organized, with all sorts of canned responses. This such as sales letters, customer support replies, copyright claims, and much more. One of currently 7 pinned Chrome extensions, that I use on a daily basis. Highly recommended, if you like me send many similiar replies/emails.

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.
