Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Stay notified of Google Chat messages even when you don’t have a visible Chat tab open — without cluttering your browser or interrupting your workflow.

This extension runs quietly in the background to ensure you continue to receive Google Chat notifications as long as Chrome is open — even if you don’t have a chat.google.com tab visible in any window. It accomplishes this by automatically managing a hidden, pinned background tab that stays alive to maintain your Google Chat session. Unlike manually leaving a Chat tab open, this extension intelligently keeps only one such tab alive across all Chrome windows, avoids duplicate tabs, restores the connection if the window is closed, and minimizes memory impact or distraction. Best of all, it preserves system notifications for Google Chat, helping you stay responsive without needing to manually manage tabs.

Installation & Instructions:

=====================

1. The extension requires that you have previously logged into your Google Chat account in Chrome in the past 30 or so days, and haven't logged out since.

2. Click the Add to Chrome button on this page to install the extension.

Was working great, but now continues to open duplicate new chat tabs (currently have 7 open G Chat tabs after closing them all a minute ago). Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
