User reviews
I have only one feedback: can you please add a feature to check for Chat notifications as well alongside regular ones? Other than that, 10/10 super awesome extension. Thank you!

I added a second Reddit account and tried to use it several times but was getting an error about "failed login, check password", and in the extension's menu, there were some strange characters in front of the username. Well, I knew there was nothing wrong with the password, so I just left it for a few minutes. Came back to it, and now it logs in, and the weird characters are gone with no changes made on my end. The new account creation part was also a bit broken, but then started working. I typed in a username and clicked create account, and it just sat on the register screen. Tried again a little later, got to the Catchpa screen and was able to create a new account. I didn't have any of the CPU usage problems reported by other users, but I'm on a Mac, so it could be a Windows issue on their part.

I am not sure this is still working. When I added an account and went to Reddit, the extension menu is blank.
