Description from store
Show your Gmail unread count as a badge on the Gmail icon!

–––––

ℹ️ Make sure to select "open as window"

3. Open the newly installed app.
How it Works
–––––––––––
This is an optimized fork of the "Gmail app badge notification" extension that uses no CPU or bandwidth.
Instead of polling your Gmail inbox RSS feed, this version of the extension injects a tiny script into Gmail. Gmail already shows unread count in its window title. This extension detects when Gmail updates its title, then grabs the unread count and shows it as a badge on Gmail's icon. It's fast, reliable, and efficient!

I can't get this extension to work with Microsoft Edge. Is it possible? The badge does not show up at all. - (2022-12-09, v:2.0.1) Dean Lupari: Doesn't work on Edge
I use the Chromium version of MS Edge and this extension does not seem to work. The other Gmail taskbar badge extensions in the Chrome Store do work on Edge, but not this one.
