Jess Palmer (ID: 000000022d3e0a39) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/10/2023 Options page consistently 404s after first use, rendering the extension useless. Was nice the one time it worked.

Natthaphong Phonboonsri (ID: 00000062dd122e2b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/28/2023 This is an excellent extension. I simply have one request. Is it possible to include a notification sound while opening the website?

Nicolas De Marco Padron (ID: 000000f5b2a48261) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/24/2023 The extension works great. I've only a request to do. Would it be possible to add titles to each configuration? Just to offer a more user-friendly way to identify them rather than reading the whole URL.

D GSD (ID: 000000d193776773) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/23/2023 I don't understand all these glowing reviews. For me, it's almost totally worthless: -- It let me add a bunch of pages when I first installed it, and even though it said it was saving them, I later noticed several of the ones I added were missing. And if I tried to go back in to re-enter the missing entries, it wouldn't save them OR it would only save part of the URL (e.g., "https://www" and nothing else). I suspect there's a limit of the number of URLs you can enter. -- All that aside, it would be nice if there were an option to have pages load in background tabs rather than unexpectedly dragging focus away from whatever else I'm doing. -- Can't specify that it only load so many at a time (e.g., only load 2 at a time) when a number of URLs are set to open at the same time. Opening a bunch of pages at the simultaneously slows the browser down significantly, so I end up having to enter a handful at say 8:00, then a few more at 8:01, etc. -- Won't load URLs it's missed. For example, if you have an entry set to load at 7:00 am, but you don't start the browser until 7:30 am, the add-on will skip it entirely. Would be nice to have some sort of "catch-up" option. -- From a purely aesthetic standpoint, why does the entry screen have to take up so much vertical space for each line? As a result, I have to scroll down a long way to see everything. -- On the plus side, I like how it shows you the next few entries that will execute. Sadly, this is probably the best such add-on available for Chrome. This, plus other examples, has kept me loyal to Firefox for many years.

Chris C (ID: 0000005a0ae3c415) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/16/2023 This extension is great, you should use it. One suggestion to the developer--please make a way to export/import the settings/schedule as a text-based file so I can batch create a schedule. Thank you!
