Set Gmail as default email application when clicking on an email address on the internet
Have you ever clicked on a website's "contact us" email link, only to find out that nothing happens when you click on it?
Or maybe it opens an email client like iCloud email on your Apple MacOs device, or Microsoft Outlook on your Windows device?
It's an annoyance that doesn't need to happen at all. With this extension, you'll be able to set Gmail (or your G Suite account) as your default email client anytime you click on an email address that you find online.
This extension is great for:
✅ Large organizations that use Google Workspace to ensure that all your employees compose emails from their work emails and not accidentally sent from employees' private email accounts (ie. iCloud, Outloook.com, or other Gmail email).
✅ Gmail users who just don't like using other email clients other than their Gmail email client.
✅ Gmail users who are left wondering why clicking on an email link just never works at all.

- (2023-10-25) Peter Molnar: Fantastic, exactly what I needed!
- (2023-09-02) Raphaël Kolm: Works well. However in the Chrome Developer Console it prints out the following message so that disturbs my development experience on my own apps quite a bit: [Deprecation] Listener added for a synchronous 'DOMNodeInserted' DOM Mutation Event. This event type is deprecated (https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#legacy-event-types) and work is underway to remove it from this browser. Usage of this event listener will cause performance issues today, and represents a risk of future incompatibility. Consider using MutationObserver instead. The incriminated file is main_gmail_mailto_impl.js:168

- (2021-10-24) Jeff Lackey: It worked fine, but it caused the compose function in Gmail to be EXTREMELY slow, so I will have to disable and remove it. I tested by disabling and enabling and it was definitely this extension.
- (2021-02-05) n ascentt: doesn't work for me. and refreshed all my tabs right after install without warning me
- (2020-09-28) Ste: Great app but it disturbs the icon it creates on gmail
- (2020-08-14) David Wolf: Wish I could give this extension ten stars!!! Ever since I switched my office to g-suite over two years ago I've had a problem with email links - they open my personal gmail account instead of my g-suite email account. So I would have to copy the email address from email links, open an email in g-suite, paste the email address, etc. Now I don't have to do that anymore!!!
- (2020-07-09) Ty Brown: I was hoping that this extension would open mailto links in gmail. It does not. I uninstalled Windows Mail to see if that would help but now it just opens a new blank tab in chrome.
