Mehmet Metin (ID: 0000008447d9c14b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/11/2021 I just started to use it and it works good for now. All you do not have to do is clicking url. Url clicking disrupts the algorithm of the extension.

Srirang Girish (ID: 0000006d31b2f8e6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/01/2020 Really useful but sometimes if you're at 13 min and 21 seconds it puts you at 13 seconds, and it also adds a new entry to your history for every second, if those two things could be fixed I'd easily give it a five star.
