Works great!

A notification/sound when receiving new tickets & stop functionality would add more value to it.

The idea of this extension is great, but in execution it does not behave reliably. For me personally, it works but every time I reopen Chrome the refresh interval resets to 10 seconds. For other people in my organization, reopening Chrome stops it from working entirely until the user opens it and clicks Save again. It would be great if the developer(s) could update the app. Once it's working consistently I think it will be very helpful!
