Time Travel: Chrome Extension for Date Manipulation

"Time Travel" is a Chrome extension that enables users to spoof the current date and time seen by websites.

With a simple interface, users can set a specific date and time, and any JavaScript Date object will reflect this fake time. Additionally, the extension features a pause and play function, giving users control over the time display during testing.

User reviews

Если вы задолбались менять время в настройках, как я - очень советую это расширение. Сохраняет кучу времени и кликов.

One of the best extensions when writing code that depends on the browser's time and date is its usefulness in such scenarios. However, it would be even more helpful if an option to include seconds were also available.
