Countdown Extension

Replaces your 'new-tab' page with a real-time counter showing the estimated amount of time you have left along with up to three ambitions you specify. You are running out of time, get back to your passion.

Good Luck.


This extension was inspired by the extensions \"Mortality\" and \"Motivation\". I have built upon their original ideas and concepts.
