It's perfect; does exactly what it says, which is a great feature to have, particularly for people who need to keep track of events happening around the world. And it does it in a way that looks great and seamlessly integrates with each page. My only suggestion would be to add the time zone (for peace of mind —right now it only shows the time conversion), so you'll know for sure when the extension is working.

I livestream a number of overseas TV channels, and this extension allows me to easily convert the TV guides into my local timezone. It's really, really good. The only thing it needs to make it absolutely perfect is the option to save my settings for a given site, so any time I access the site, it is automatically converted to my local timezone right from the start. Absolutely superb extension, thank you very much!
