works randomly, so difficult to make it work. Tried uninstalling and installing multiple times but of no use. Now uninstalling permanently.

- This extension requires permission to read and change all data on all sites. Ideally, it should request this permission for only leetcode.com. Luckily, Chrome provides an option to restrict this permission to specific sites. We can do this after granting this permission for all sites (during the installation of the extension). - The timer stops running when the focus is away from the tab or browser for a while (like more than 10 minutes). It resumes running when the focus returns to the tab/browser. I use a local notepad editor application to write the code and then copy paste the code back into the LeetCode editor on the site. So, my workflow or steps to replicate the issue is: 1. Open LeetCode problem 2. Start the extension's timer 3. Navigate away from the browser to a local notepad editor like, for example, Sublime Text 4. Take some time to code the solution in the local notepad editor 5. Copy the code from notepad editor and return to the browser to paste the code and then run it or submit it. 6. I notice that timer does not accurately reflect the time I spent on the problem. I cross checked this with a stopwatch timer on my smartphone.
