Real-time desktop notifications for Stack Exchange inbox ( Chrome / Firefox )

Stack Exchange network consists of 181 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.

Stack Apps is a question and answer site for apps, scripts, and development with the Stack Exchange API. It only takes a minute to sign up.

After installing and setting your Stack Exchange account ID, you will get desktop notifications whenever the inbox notification count changes. Click on the notification to visit your inbox.

NEW in 2.2: The unread message count is also displayed on the extension button, and clicking on the extension button will directly show the contents of your inbox in a panel. There is a "mark as read" button to mark all messages as read.

I'm probably talking to myself here since it appears nobody except me has been on this page in years, but I figured I should mention that (contrary to my previous comment) the add-in still works just fine, and I've been using the Firefox version daily (minutely?!) for months without issue.
