User reviews
It seems to work, or rather it does work, but it suffers from the same problem every single mailto: extension suffers from. Failure to display from which GMAIL ACCOUNT you are sending. Maybe this is an inherent flaw in google's API, i imagine it is. But it is so frustrating for people who actively use more than one gmail account. For example, I have a specific account I use for Youtube usage which is different from my primary G account. Depending on how Google has registered which account is user 1, which account is user 2, and so on, it just often happens for me that the wrong account gets triggered by these extensions. Is it not possible to add an account selector dropdown into the UI which borrows on google's native account switching selector code?
It does what I need it to do -- open Gmail and send links.
The no longer works with Thunderbird. Only gmail.
