Love Google+? Me too. I’m so addicted to it that even when I browse other web sites I want to keep checking if there’s any new notifications. But it’s troublesome to go back to Google+ frequently.

Show Google+ Sandbar on All Pages

If you have the same problem, try this extension: +Everything. When enabled, it keeps the Google+ sandbar with notification count on top of every web site. Even if you are reading other pages, the sandbar stays on the page to let you know latest notifications in realtime.

If you click on the notification count, it takes you to the notification page on Google+.

UPDATE: Looks like the author removed it from Web Store. You could find a backup copy here.

Hide Notification Count on Sandbar

On the other hand, sometimes you may be distracted by the notifications, when you are working your head off in Google Docs or Checking GMail. As long as you are in Google’s pages, you see the same sandbar with notification count.

Hide Google+ Notification is your saviour. With it installed, the notification count is disabled on all Google pages EXCEPT on the Google+ site. This is rational because if you have time to hangout with friends in Google+, you don’t mind being reminded of some new follows or posts.
