Wrong badge count on background extenstion across different windows
-
Checker Plus for Gmail is an extension that runs in background to check unread email and shows a unread badge count on extension bar.
The count should be the same across all opened browser windows as it's unrelated to the current active tab
(unlike for example - uBlock Orign, which shows blocked ads count for active tab so the numbers would be different for different windows - which currently does work as expected)But as the pic above shows, it's not the case. Also it seems like the number on other windows only updates when I manually switch tabs on those windows.
Also tested in other browsers and they don't have this problem.
