Hi, can you include a button that someone can use to clear the watch time on the extension. This would have been a great tool but i cannot clear my time watch myself unless i wait midnight when it automatically clears by itself which makes this extension not effective & efficient enough and restricting its use. Please fix because i like the inter phase and want to continue using it
