One question I had on this: I use the Slack app for macOS, which is (in)famously an Electron thang. Any chance we can wedge your Chrome extension in there somehow? Or does it only work in the official browser?

it is possible, but highly against Slack’s AUP… so not something I want to do.
In my experience, the web version is faster, lighter and lets you use things like Dark Reader to have a nice dark mode. Any reason why you prefer the Electron version?
With Refined, you can also pin the Slack tab, and have an unread count on the favicon (so that you can glance over it and know if something happened). This is the same strategy I use for my mail and trello :)
