User reviews
Users appreciate the extension's functionality for timing media to aid sleep, finding it simple and effective when working. However, a common major issue is that the extension frequently breaks or freezes after a single use, forcing users to uninstall and reinstall it to restore functionality. Canceling active timers often causes the extension to become unresponsive. Despite these drawbacks, many users still prefer it over alternatives and find it convenient for its intended purpose.

Everyone else is right. But if you let it do its thing, it does work. I just create a bookmark to the web store page and REMOVE/INSTALL anytime it gets disabled. Bit of a PITA but, given the lack of working alternatives, not terrible. Only takes a few seconds.
The problem is, if the extension EVER completes the countdown WITHOUT being able to close the tab - it becomes forever unresponsive to input. Even closing Chrome and restarting will not reset it. You can open the extension, but it simply will not respond to any clicks so you can't set/start the timer ever again. Only removing then reinstalling extension resets it.
This means, not only can you never CANCEL a timer once started, but even the "MUTE TAB" feature also disables the extension once it reaches zero. Oh sure, it does mute the tab....but since the tab didn't close....you're done until reinstalling the extension.
Wish the developer would spend an hour and update this extension.
