Martin “Smart Mart” Denyer (ID: 000000befa3d9902) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/12/2022 Used to be amazing but now no longer does anything. I expect someone upstream has badly borked gnome on ubuntu, no extensions work, can't install new ones, can't configure existing ones.

Conal Garrity (ID: 0000009995a617ee) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/17/2022 Love this extension, however it has stopped working. I did upgrade to Ubuntu 22.10 early so was expected some things would be broken until after official release. Just a PSA for anyone thinking of doing the same. "Your native host connector do not support following APIs: v6. Probably you should upgrade native host connector or install plugins for missing APIs. Refer documentation for instructions." As per the instructions: Sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done chrome-gnome-shell is already the newest version (10.1-5). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Alex Heil F. (ID: 000000572750c6a6) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/05/2022 Since long time it is broken, saying there is a problem with the installation of the "native host-connector", one should read the documentation. Nope. There is othing in the documentation that helps to get it running. As many pieces of Gnome, things does not get developped properly...
