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
