Funciona.

Has been very handy in letting me know when extensions are updated, and I'll note that it has been working fine for me (current Chrome on 1/7/17). Its notifications even reminded me of a Chrome App I'd installed but was no longer using and could remove.

Doesn't work. I haven't seen any notifications so far and I've had this extension for months.

A must have, if you care about extension security! Here's an excerpt from an article by Ron Amadeo:
arstechnica.com/security/2014/01/malware-vendors-buy-chrome-extensions-to-send-adware-filled-updates/

“[Y]ou are basically giving [the owner of an extension] permission to push new code out to your browser whenever they feel like it. To make matters worse, ownership of a Chrome extension can be transferred to another party, and users are never informed when an ownership change happens. Malware and adware vendors have caught wind of this and have started showing up at the doors of extension authors, looking to buy their extension. Once [...] the ownership of the extension is transferred, the new owners can issue an ad-filled update over Chrome's update service, which sends the adware out to every user of that extension.”

Basically, not knowing when an extension is updated is a security risk. And even aside from security, it's good to know when an extension is updated.

Now, if the only extension you have is an ad-blocker, there's not much point in using this extension. But if you have even a few extensions, I'd strongly recommend installing this. And if you have more then a few extensions, it's a must have!

Très bonne extension - c'est une option qui devrait-être intégrée par défaut dans Chrome OS !!! Un grand MERCI au développeur.
