Google Chrome is getting new features day by day and that is what making Chrome the most popular browser. This time, Gmail team has come up with desktop notification for Gmail where you will get notified about new and important emails and new chat while browsing other sites on Chrome. For example, I was browsing Facebook, and suddenly a popup came saying you have got a new message in your Gmail inbox. Similar popup comes for new chat or ongoing conversations as well.

From today on Chrome browser, you must be seeing a notification on Gmail dashboard to enable desktop notification on Gmail. Click on that and allow the browser to do so for Gmail.
