Works great. Set my extension to only pick up on one webpage I do my work through and now I can click phone numbers to dial through the 8x8 Windows program.

Doesn't highlight anything and after clicking a number in Chrome, I always get a popup that says "Make Call From" and I have to select 8x8 again...

The extension will make me stop phone calling from classic hangouts. I like the extension too.
