User reviews

So far so good, works as intended but using text instead of icon for the extension on the toolbar makes it hard to find it sometimes.

Great addon, does exactly what I wanted, it's like it was made for me with how I use tabs. Is there a way to add verbosity to the icon? So I could see seconds as well as minutes? I have a 4K screen so it would be fine to read the numbers even when that tiny, even more so since I changed the text colour (a great update) to lime green.

Simple and great addon.
