Review Summary
X-notifier is a once highly regarded Chrome extension supporting multiple email services and providing convenient notifications. However, users widely report failure with Hotmail/Outlook accounts, including login issues and lack of notifications. Yahoo mail support is also problematic. The extension appears unmaintained, resulting in incompatibilities with recent Chrome versions and persistent warnings about lack of support. Some users experience sign-out problems from Google services and disruptive behavior during email composition. Despite these drawbacks, it remains favored among users for Gmail support and multi-account monitoring.

- Been reliable and favored by many users for years.
- Works well with Gmail accounts.
- Provides convenient email notifications across several accounts.
- Compatible with Chrome-based browsers such as Vivaldi.
Cons
- No longer works properly with Hotmail/Outlook accounts; login and notifications fail.
- Stopped supporting Yahoo mail in some instances, with inability to sign in or receive notifications.
- Extension has not been updated recently, causing compatibility issues with latest Chrome versions including deprecation warnings.
- Multiple users report session conflicts causing sign-outs from Google accounts and YouTube when the extension is installed.
- The extension sometimes causes the page to refresh while composing emails, potentially losing unsaved work, and has persistent pop-up notifications that cannot be disabled.
