- Desktop notifications can be disabled.
- Your StackExchange inbox is shown in the panel at the extension button.
After installation, request an API token at the options page to get real-time notifications of new messages.
Alternatively, only set a StackExchange ID without granting the token. (not recommended, because this token is needed for getting the unread count at any given time).

Privacy policy:
You may specify a StackExchange ID (and optionally use StackExchange's mechanism to grant an StackExchange API token) to enable the extension to function. This data is stored locally only, and only used with the StackExchange API to receive notifications for inbox messages. No other data is collected, and the data is not used for any other purpose.

- (2021-05-14) Alina Kravchenko: Does what it's supposed to do
- (2020-03-02) Bean: Excellent. It's very useful. But I don't want to get notified by this extension while I'm in a Stack Exchange website because the website itself notifies me. Thanks!
- (2016-04-09) Robert Orzanna: Simply great to receive instant notifications of follow-up!
- (2013-12-11) Jeremy Paulding: Does exactly what it says. Very handy for staying on top of 'recent' Q&A. Update: after further use, there's a couple of things that keep this from being ideal for me: - notification persist until interacted with. maybe good for some, but my preference would be a growl that goes away after a little time. perhaps this could be a setting? - squelch could be handy. or snooze for N minutes. some way to keep an active thread from getting spammy and interrupting other work. Very handy, though, and I'll be continuing to use even w/o improvements.
- (2012-11-19) Tim Post: Quite handy, any plans for adding local squelch settings?
