edit: its actually an unneeded app now i guess. if u go to the chrome settings and type in "background", u can scroll down under the system section of the search results and turn on "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" itll do it for u now w/o the need for an extension. cheers idk what happened. it worked fine until one time i right clicked it in the tray and accidentally unchecked its ability to run in the background. ive tried messing with teh site settings and uninstalling/resinstalling it but the tray icon still doesnt come back and it doesnt run in the background in the task manager when i close chrome either. its a great app pls help me fix this

Great Extension!!! I spent a long time looking for a Chrome extension that would keep the browser really running and the Chrome icon on the tray. This is essential for me to get realtime email notifications, since I use the browser for Outlook.By the way, shame on Google that does not provide this basic and very important fucntionality as simple setting that you can check, Typical Google! Thank you very much to the developer of this great extension!
