Aswath Madhu (ID: 00000044c92d7640) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/28/2020 Protab is my new go-to extension on chrome. It is such a relief that we can organize our to-dos and notes, all in one place. It was always a headache to keep track of the to-dos at work because some of them are there on email, some of them are in the notes etc. Looking forward to the future updates! Great work!
