User reviews

Time Tab is praised for its simplicity, minimalist design, and useful customization options such as color themes and clock formats. Users appreciate its reliability and privacy-friendly approach with minimal permissions. Some frustrations arise with the 24-hour clock initially displaying 12-hour format causing a flicker, the clock moving slightly when seconds are enabled, and the absence of an analog clock display. Overall, it serves as a clean, effective, and customizable new tab clock extension.

Pros

Simple and minimalist design
Customizable options including background color, text color, font, and 12/24-hour clock format
Reliable and trustworthy performance
Does not require unnecessary permissions, respecting user privacy
Useful to have time always visible without needing a watch

Cons

24-hour clock mode initially loads in 12-hour format causing a brief flicker
Clock shifts position slightly when seconds are enabled due to variable number widths
Lacks analog clock display, only digital numbers shown

Fantastic and insuperable. I will only ask if possible, to create another chrome extension with the same clock and below, the local weather conditions. This please don't modify, as-is is perfect.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Time Tab requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Time Tab has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
