User Reviews

Users generally praise FoxClocks for global time displays and quick city searches, making it useful for coordinating with people worldwide. However, multiple reviews flag outdated time zone data and DST handling, leading to inaccuracies. A common complaint is the lack of a clear way to contact the developer and concerns about privacy. Some users dislike the bottom UI strip and absence of font-size controls. A few also note branding/flag inconsistencies. Overall, it’s helpful but needs timely updates and clearer support options.
Pros
  • Global/world clock display for many cities and countries.
  • City and country search makes locating times quick.

This is a very good extension for checking timezones around the world, and this is actually perfect for a browser like Firefox that needs these extensions for your local time. 5 Stars.

Is FoxClocks Safe?

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.

FoxClocks requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
