I started this project after getting annoyed with Google Calendar's event

notifications.  They used to have nice soft notifications, but they broke it

when they graduated their feature from google labs and they

[haven't fixed it](https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/aWfZBNKlNEQ).

The extension will replace the built-in browser alert window with a modal which

won't force you to context switch between tabs.  It also prevents you from

accidentally closing alert windows when you're typing.

You can close the modal by pressing "Enter", "Escape", or "Space".  When

opening, it has an [audio chime](https://notificationsounds.com/message-tones/just-like-that-404).

**Contributions welcome**
