Radu Stanculescu (ID: 0000001332704d56) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/26/2024 Just discovered this, I love the clean-up of the friends online/offline notifications from the logs, and the dark mode. The customization of the home page to remove the many sections that I don't care about is awesome!

Christophe Delaforge (ID: 000000e3367d13d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/12/2023 Essentiel ! :D

Joep Verhoeven (ID: 00000051548b0239) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/01/2023 It works again! This is a great utility, glad it is still maintained.

Heather S (ID: 00000065ca2f96cd) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/13/2023 This was my favorite BGA extension. But it has stopped working all together now. It had hiccups at times where it would give phantom numbers, but then would correct itself. Now it just shows a red X where the numbers should be. I'm not sure if it is still actively being updated. I hope so!

Alexandre Sb (ID: 0000007d30855b0d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/26/2021 Très bonne extension qui remplace à merveille les notifications Google Chrome. Dommage pour l'absence d'options. J'aime bien customiser mes extensions.
