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.
