I think that only the user can add a site in the future multi-site support feature.  
If the extension automatically add sites, I think it could be annoying. Eventually an option could be present to enable the extension to propose a list of the visited discourse site and the user can finally choose to activate them.

The extension already using MessageBus.  
/notifications?silent=true is used only on boot to get the user id. It is the only method I have discovered to get the user id as I explained in this [post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-chrome-extension-to-show-unread-count/27853/15) , because I did not found the documentation. I’ve asked about it. It exists ?

> Also, how about “Notifications for Discourse” for the title?

I’ve changed the title as suggested by @codinghorror.
