Does not work when I click on the extension button! I should've read the reviews first

It does work; but, there are a ton of steps that most won't either understand how to do them or have the patience. A couple of them require a little technical familiarity too--not difficult but may be intimidating. I got it to work with my system and received my first notification. So far, so good!
