Extension summary
Disclaimer: This is an UNOFFICIAL extension created by a regular user of the website, it is not endorsed nor maintained by DeviantArt.
How does it work?
The extension sends specific API requests to the site every N minutes (which can be adjusted in the options) and aggregates the notification and note counts based on the response.
The total amount is then displayed on the icon, and when clicked it opens a menu that looks similar to the site's top bar with the chat, notifications and watch icons, all of which can be clicked to go to their respective pages.
By default, the extension sends a notification and plays a sound when the total increases, but both the notification and its sound can be disabled if you only want the counter. The notification also disappears after a couple seconds initially, but this can be changed to a longer duration or disabled entirely (by setting the timeout to 0), so only a click on the close button or one of the buttons will clear it.
What is counted as a notification exactly?
The counter displays an aggregated total of:
- your own unread notes
