Cons:

None so far

How is this better than just changing the setting in Chrome?

@awt eh, most of us are either lazy to go and change Chrome settings or don't even know about it.

@awt @iamtekeste what setting? Opening a supported webmail client will just ask you to let it handle mailto: links.

@julianwachholz in Chrome you can disable mailto links from doing anything. but this add-in looks really cool!

This is great. Much better execution than me. I built http://www.mailtolandmines.com/ a few years back because this annoys me so much - in particular mailto links that aren't obviously mailto links.

Thought this was a frivolous add-on, but after watching the marketing video I've been converted to a believer.
