  That extensions essentially hands over control of your HN account to some internet stranger. It's a little bit better described in the store now than it used to be although I'm surprised the chrome store allows this kind of thing at all.

    Shouldn't be a surprise, chrome extensions are still the wild west.

Been using that one for years, works great. Also emails you less than 60 seconds after they make the comment.

Been on this for too many years to count now, it almost feels like an official HN feature, has always been 100% solid.

      thanks for feedback.. I definitely also didn't get the email for this response... maybe I'll sign up again or something.

    I was notified about this response, so seems okay for me. It may be a problem with email deliverability with your provider. I notice they use Sendgrid to send the mails, so if your address is on a commercial system using Mimecast or a lot of popular French email services, say, then you're probably out of luck. Sendgrid IP ranges seem to have a poor rep at various places, annoyingly. (Edit: I note you're on Protonmail, which doesn't usually have a problem, but might be worth resubbing.)

      Appreciate the suggestion — I resubbed earlier today with a slightly different email address (dot alias) and emails are coming through again!

I recommend this too. I tried an alternate browser notification based solution as it was showed on HN[1] but it doesn't seem to handle HN traffic as I received notifications weeks later.
