User reviews

Users appreciate that the add-on correctly identifies their local weather and allows hourly updates on demand. However, multiple reviews highlight issues such as the add-on not saving the user's city, malfunctioning after restarts, and being limited mainly to USA locations. Additionally, concerns about privacy arise due to the add-on requesting broad data access, and users note that the extension seems abandoned, with no updates occurring in years.

Pros

Accurately detects and displays the local weather location.
Weather forecast refreshes hourly upon user action.

Cons

Fails to remember user's city/location, requiring repeated input.
Does not function correctly after restarting the browser or computer.
Requests access to data for all websites, raising privacy concerns.
Appears abandoned with no updates for several years.
Functionality is limited or only works properly for USA locations.
