It works. However, the version here is a rev behind: Chromium ships with ver. 0.1.1.5, and latest here (for several years now) is 0.1.1.4. But if you side-load the newer one in Developer Mode, it will not auto-update. Yet the version here isn't updated, so the auto-updating of the extension is being defeated anyway. It's a Procrustean choice. I also don't like that the extension just sits there. While it will auto-run at every Chromium start (would be better if it did this at every start *on a different day* than the last time it was run) it does not appear to actually inform you if a browser update is available. The user has to remember to check the extension to see if there's a new version. Maybe there's some subtle change to the icon, but it needs to be a be a much more obvious one, like what various messenger extensions do.

This addon gets "Full access" to your google account if you install it on a Synced Chrome Profile. If you uninstall the extension it still retains "Full access" to all the data in your google account. Sketchy, be careful!

Can't you just detect the OS and show a message saying this only works for Mac?
