Better URL Reminder by PWS Extension

This extension helps you to remind yourself an URL and open it later automatically. You can easily set:
- In half an hour
- In an hour
- Later today
- Later tomorrow

And many more.

There are many extensions like this, but most of them no longer works.

Enjoy and give me some feedback at https://photoreminder.net/contact/. Thank you!

ChaCha F. (ID: 000000e00343d8e7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/16/2017 I was skeptical to replace "TabSnooze" with this extension, but I was just having too many issues with that one. So far, this one has been a great replacement. It works a little differently but has better reminder options and since it doesn't pop up ALL of the pages at the same time (instead, does a lazy load type thing) it doesn't end up freezing and/or crashing my browser. So, I really appreciate that. I only wish there was a way to also create just text reminders with no tab attached to it.... I do miss that from TabSnooze. Oh, and the ability to backup to the cloud and export/import is a Godsend!! Edit: After using this for a few months, I do have a couple complaints. There's no way to set your timezone. Apparently, this is set to a timezone that is four hours ahead of mine. When I schedule something for Evening, for example, I don't get it until Night time. If I schedule a tab for say 9:00pm, I don't see it pop up until around 1am. It can be worked around but it's inconvenient. Also, there have been days when I didn't get ANY notifications at all. For some reason, it just goes to sleep and doesn't wake up until a few days later. It hinders my productivity.

Sanjida Shaheed (ID: 00000059dc4a017d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2017 I love this. I especially like the repeat function! Thank you very much. I have a feature request. Please give us the ability to choose whether we want to see the site we have set a reminder for automatically. Right now it does open in a new tab but it does not switch to the tab that opens the site I have set a reminder for. I need an in-your-face reminder.
