User reviews

Gmail Show Time is highly praised for adding customizable, precise timestamps to Gmail that Google does not provide by default. Users appreciate the developer's maintenance and responsiveness. However, recent updates have caused significant trust issues by changing browser search engine settings to dubious sites without explicit consent, leading to negative experiences. Additionally, users desire the inclusion of seconds in timestamps, and some report intermittent functionality and opaque pricing for upgrades, which affects user satisfaction.

Allows full customization of date and time format.

Cons

Recent updates change or hijack the browser's default search engine to unwanted or suspicious sites without clear user consent.

Some users experience intermittent functionality or errors requiring permissions acceptance that do not resolve issues.
Complaints about unclear or hidden pricing related to in-app purchases and authentication for upgrade features.

Does exactly what you'd expect it to do and has worked fine for me for years. I appreciate the developer keeping this extension up even after google decided to get rid of in-app payments.
