User reviews

Pros

Allows multiple timers and alarms to be set simultaneously.
Simple and elegant user interface that is easy to use and not intrusive.
Displays remaining time on the extension icon for quick visibility.
Actively maintained with responsive developer support fixing bugs quickly.
Supports both countdown and count up timers, useful for various tasks and time management.

Cons

Recent issues with opening the timer window, showing error message "Something is not right :/" and failure to load timers.
Keyboard input to set or change timer values often does not work, requiring reliance on mouse scrolling.
Mouse wheel scrolling to change timer values sometimes jumps irregularly instead of in simple increments.
Lack of features such as moving timers up/down in the list, sorting timers, labeling individual timers, and exporting/importing timer lists.
Compatibility issues after recent Chrome updates, including non-functionality on some platforms like MacOS.

Hola, me gustaria saber si hay alguna version que me permita seguir ocupando Google Chrome, ya que me la desactivaron permanentemente y la veradad me es muy util en mi trabajo.

Esta extensión la uso mucho y me gusta porque se pueden agregar varios temporizadores y alarmas a la vez y tenerlos todos en una sola ventana emergente integrada a la barra de extensiones que no ocupa mucho espacio. El único detalle que tengo con ella es que últimamente tarda mucho en abrir la ventana, me sale este mensajito de "Something is not right :/" y no carga la ventana. No sé por qué sea, si le falte poder a mi compu o sea un problema de la aplicación, me gustaría que revisaran.

I use this extension every day at work to track any day work for the various job responsibilities a normal day entails. This is the extension I recommend to all incoming techs who use Chrome instead of Edge. The fact the time adds rather than resets was a game-changer for me, and having multiple timers going simultaneously? Whew, It's a multitasker's dream. Can't wait for it to come back

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.

countDown requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

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.

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