Momentary notifications about the new PM and online status changes of your friends in VK social network

VK Online - Convenient Notifications For Your VK Account

"VK Online" is a Chrome extension meant to amplify your VK social network usage. It provides real-time notifications about new personal messages and changes in your friends' online statuses. It also has a sound alert system for incoming messages and tracks unread messages. Interestingly, while you're interacting through this extension, your online status on VK.com appears "offline". The extension only requires your data access confirmation once after installation.
