User reviews

The only reason I don't like it is that every time you restart your browser, you have to readjust the page refresh settings for all the websites you've configured, which is very annoying and makes it practically useless.

Used to work but no longer working.

UI doesn't match the pictures. I want the pictures ones (this is why 2 stars)... that one is useful cause its a single click. Feature ask: Timer shows up on the icon which is nice! But it doesn't match size of icon, so u can't see the timer very well. Would be nice to have setting to control that. Also what in world is activate colors? its buggy and clicking doesnt active it while timer is running
