Not sure if it allows me to choose account on the fly. This looks promising - It's got 80K users, the reviews aren't filled with hate, and it seems to support multiple email providers. Looks pretty similar to the first one on the list, but no privacy policy. I'm not sure if they're being honest about not giving me any privacy or just inexperienced, but I'm giving this one a pass. mailto - Looks like it might support email providers other than gmail, but there's nothing to go on in the privacy policy page.but it seems like it's gmail only, and doesn't seem to have the ability to switch accounts. That doesn't guarantee that it isn't going anywhere, but it's a good sign. Their privacy policy makes the right noises. Mailto: for Gmail - this seems to be pretty much a drop in replacement for what I've been using.Mature, won't get removed by Chrome web store.Įverything was marked as 'works on your device' (composed on XUbuntu), so cross platform support seems ok.Secure - won't spy on me, uses secure protocols.Maybe they were doing something wrong, maybe they weren't.

"I had no clue about the buyer and was also curious to know why would anyone pay this kind of money for such a simple Chrome extension," noted Amit Agarwal in his blog. The creator of the Feedly add-on revealed he had sold the rights to the extension for a 4-figure sum to an unknown party. This was in direct violation of the search giant's terms of service, which Google revised in December. "Tweet my Page" and "Add to Feedly" were updated with code that meant users were spammed with adverts on every webpage they visited.
