Data Privacy
This extension does not record any personal data or analytics. It is simply a viewport to third-party websites (Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo! Mail), and is not any less secure or more secure than as if you had used these sites in Google Chrome. By using this extension you agree to the privacy policy of the respective websites.
Known Issues
The Skype video/voice call functionality may not be compatible with your operating system. If the Gmail, Skype, or Yahoo! Messenger website gets redesigned, then this extension will likely need to be updated. If something breaks, please report it in the help forum (see link under Support tab) and give me a chance to fix it before leaving a negative review. Thanks, I appreciate it!
