Notify checks popular sites for new messages.

This extension will save you

Time - From no longer needing to constantly check various tabs for updates.

Computer Resources - Rather than having the tabs open to be alerted to new messages, these resources can now be freed up. That means less memory usage, and less processing power, which means longer battery life.

Focus - You can now stay focused on other things and be alerted only when your attention is needed.

Sites Currently Supported

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Notify requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Notify has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
