This is a MUST HAVE 5-star extension, at least for me. Seeing notifications that "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Appears this app has been abandoned since 2013, but hope the dev can at least get the app updated to meet the 'best practices'.
