Description
To read one new message you switch to the Gmail tab, wait for it to load, see that it is a promotion, delete it and switch back. Twenty seconds, dozens of times a day, and the day is gone in fragments.
Checker Plus cuts that path short. A new message raises a desktop notification, and you can mark it read, delete, archive or reply from the notification itself without the Gmail tab ever opening. The toolbar popup shows the full list and message body, with starring and replies handled in place.
Multiple accounts are its strong suit: several Gmail accounts monitored at once with separate unread counts and no re-login when switching. It can also read messages aloud, which is useful while driving or working on something else. Over a million users, free, and the permissions page states plainly that message content never passes through the developer servers.
Act from the notification: Mark read, delete, archive or reply straight from the desktop notification.
Read and write in the popup: The toolbar popup shows the full list and body, with starring and replies handled there.
Several accounts at once: Monitor multiple Gmail accounts with separate unread counts and no re-login when switching.
Voice notifications: Have new mail read aloud so you know whether anything urgent arrived while your hands are busy.
Tunable notifications: Sound, duration, sender photo and body preview are each configurable, so the interruption level is yours to set.
No third-party relay: The extension talks to Google directly; message content does not pass through the developer infrastructure.
