The extension shows lessons/reviews available before they are ready, in my case it is always ahead a few hours of the review forecast. The only useful feature I have found in it is the "auto expand item info" when using WaniKani.

Doesn't work anymore, and support has been dropped. Not worth installing.

It does work now, it would be nice if it'd update the review count right after I've finished my reviews. I.e.: I had 4 reviews, I finished them all but I still see badge saying "4" until the next update cycle

2021-01-24 Raoul Dobal Great for getting those quick reviews in when you have a couple of minutes time between work stuff. A resizing option would be great. The "window" is a bit small - hey, one is not getting younger ;-)
