What is Open in Notion?
"Open in Notion" is a Chrome extension designed for users who prefer opening Notion's share links via the desktop app rather than a web browser. The extension adds functionality to automatically direct all Notion share links to the app on Mac OS or Windows. Featuring an easy toggle-on/off button and customizable options, it enhances user convenience, and further enforces permission to 'Always open these types of links in the associated app'.
