Ar Jay (ID: 000000b31e7d2fd7) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/20/2023 It's not worked how would I wish because the addon not really trigger every single URL changes which means the addon can't detect really sensitive and simple changes that's how I wish this extension. but I really love this extension if the developers can improve what I expected soon it would be great.

Carlos Zapata (ID: 000000815d5d431a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/03/2020 Great! The only thing is that I would like the timer to stop when I change my tab. That is, that the timer records the time that passes while the tab is active. Do you plan to add something like that in the future? I would really appreciate it.
