Just Not Sorry -- the Chrome extension
A Chrome extension that warns you when you write emails using words which undermine your message
We're Just NOT Sorry! Let's build awareness of how we qualify our message and diminish our voice. Inspired by the writings of Tara Mohr and others, this Chrome Extension for Gmail and Outlook for web helps you send more confident emails by warning you when you use words which undermine your message. Commonly used qualifying words and phrases are underlined for you to choose how you want to address them. Hover over the underline to see additional information about how using the phrase is perceived. (Don't worry, the underline won't get sent as part of your email if you decide to ignore it.) Created by Tami Reiss, Steve Brudz, Manish Kakwani, and Eric Tillberg of Def Method (www.defmethod.com).

Helpful for myself and my team
Been using this for years. Still find it useful. Thank you.
Amazed at this concept - but would love if it worked on text fields outside of Gmail, in the same way as Grammarly does. Imposter syndrome exists out side of gmail too! ;) Does this make sense?

Love the idea, but cannot get it to work. I have Gmail...I have the extension installed and all settings are turned on. I don't understand why it's not working.
This is great! Only issue is it does not offer suggestions for alternatives!

This extension is excellent. I haven't had any trouble with Gmail speed while using it.

I used to love this, but over the last few weeks Gmail had been slowing to a crawl, only in Chrome, so I'd been using other broswers for Gmail - and was considering switching off Chrome altogether. Started turning extensions off and on, and discovered Just Not Sorry was the culprit :( If your Gmail is running INSANELY slowly to the point of not working, trying turning this extension off. A shame!

It works, but it isn't nearly as intuitive as plugins like Grammarly. It only picks up on certain words and ignores the context. For example, it always underlines the word SORRY, whether you're starting a sentence with Sorry or if you're sorry someone's grandma died. Don't get it.

The extension was great when it worked. Unfortunately, it silently stopped working a few months back. I'm running Chrome Version 63.0.3239.84 (64-bit) on Mac OSX Yosemite. I'm using normal Gmail, not Inbox. It would be excellent to see it functioning again!

I love this and recommend it to friends often. I wish this worked on slack too.

It doesn't work. I installed it in Chrome and went to my gmail, composed a message with the words but it didn't highlight them

It's an interesting extension. I'm missing a bit of interaction and it would be great if this could be available in Outlook or Firefox as well.

Not really useful. It only works when the exact words are used.

Would be cool if it worked in Inbox, but I usually compose emails in Gmail. The bigger problem is that it only works on my computer and not my phone. Regardless, it's a fantastic extension!

this sounds great but it the icon will only appear for a moment after it's been added to chrome. It shows up in the extensions list as active but I can't get it to function. Great idea but it just isn't cutting it. Please work on this so I can use it!

I love this extension! One additional feature i would request to empower my email correspondences, which shrinks the power of my replies is too many brackets. Please add a bottom line text written in brackets!
Incredibly useful in empowering my language.

What a great idea! I'm a little reprehensive about the security/privacy issues, though.

Why would it not allow an option to customize which words or phrases to look for?
