Pros
Pro Does a lot more than just notifications
Pushbullet also allows its users to push messages, links, files, locations, and more to any of their devices or to other Pushbullet users.
Pro Superbly easy to use
After installing the Pushbullet application the set up process is as easy as it gets. Pushbullet will first ask you to sign in to your Google account. Then all you have to do is enable notification access and install the Chrome extension.
Pro Almost no delay
Pushbullet is just as fast as its name suggests at mirroring notifications or pushing links or files.
Pro Uses a Chrome extension for PC/Mac or a Windows application
