The good: Does what it says in a minimal manner. Unlike what was said in another review, for me it works, presumably it has a soft requirement that the browser engine inside Thunderbird must be recent enough for web.skype.com not to reject it.

Sadly, the utility is limited. Most notably, while the skype tab can indicate the presence of new message by changing from "Skype" to "Skype (1)", it does so only when the tab is activated.

My hope was to help me miss Skype messages less easily on Linux with KDE, where I keep missing the indicators of new messages for Skype, but read my Emails frequently. That use-case is not covered by this addon.

Doesn't work in Thunderbird. Error message "browser not supported".

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2).
