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.
