User reviews
Internet Connection Monitor is praised for its detailed outage reports and ease of use, aiding users in tracking connectivity stability effectively. However, multiple users report inaccuracies in disconnect counts due to Wi-Fi reconnection interpretations, increased CPU and power consumption during live monitoring, and issues with functioning when displays are off. Some also report the extension malfunctioning on certain browsers, falsely indicating disconnections. Despite these, it remains a valuable tool to identify internet dropouts and maintain stable connections, especially in environments requiring reliable internet.
Pros
- Provides detailed reports and logs with charts and statistics for monitoring internet outages.
- Simple to use with a clean layout and effective functionality.
- Useful for identifying internet connection dropouts and issues, helping users understand their network health.
- Runs continuously to provide 24/7 monitoring and detailed data essential for troubleshooting.
- Highly appreciated by users who need stable, consistent internet connections, including business environments.
Cons
- Sometimes records incorrect total disconnect count due to misinterpreting Wi-Fi reconnections as online events.
- Consumes high CPU and power usage when running live monitor for extended periods.
- Does not function when the computer monitor is off, limiting background monitoring capability.
- Stopped working for some users, falsely indicating connection loss even after reinstalling, particularly on certain browsers like Brave.
- Limited in detecting 'internet connected but no internet access' scenarios; only monitors connection presence.

Best extension out here on web store, detailed reports and stats with charts and logs as well to monitor and report outages.
However, it records incorrect data on the total disconnect count. Every time the Wi-Fi reconnects or refreshes, it records that event as online. The Windows PC insists on connecting to other Wi-Fi networks and disconnecting even no other Wi-Fi is available after connectivity is lost. Somehow, this extension records all those events as online. Therefore, the total tally of disconnects is more than it should be. How come it's able to ping google.com when connectivity is lost. I tried changing frequency of ping in setting, but problem still persist.

There is something wrong with this extension. When using the live monitor (the full page that shows statistics), after a little while, CPU usage stays between 5% and 10% and power usage stays between high and very high. As soon as I stop Internet Connection Monitor, CPU and power usage drop back close to zero. You guys need to do some testing about this or stop using our CPU for your personal projects. Thanks
