Simple and basic, which is good. You can set the work and break periods, but unfortunately no matter what I set the break period to, the countdown for the break period stays at the original preset 17 minutes, so I have to manually restart the timer after every break. Still works, but if I find something that doesn't have this flaw I would do that instead. Other than that would be 5*.

I changed the times so my screen time is 25 mins, and my break is 5 mins. But when it's time for a break, it defaults to 17 mins. Also, when I click on the extension and select 'Pause', I thought it would pause the timer, but instead it triggers the break time.
