LugiDergX (ID: 0000000b09184fe8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/07/2023 Please add settings to change "hrs" to "minutes". It can be a bit hard to understand the estimated reading time in such format for people that do not understand it and constantly checking the conversion is a waste of time that this extension is supposed to save.

Ciro Ramírez Suástegui (ID: 000000e4ffd57132) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/21/2022 Doesn't work.

Cara (ID: 000000d754cb637d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/30/2022 I would very much like for this extension to work, but it does literally nothing. No time is displayed and clicking on the extension icon only allows me to change the settings.

Marcelo Murras (ID: 0000008e510dc22f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/16/2021 Didn't work at all for me. :(
