Simple and nice UI, I loved it! It would be even better if the temperature were displayed directly on the extension badge for a quick glance.

Love love love it. Simple, quick and easy to use. The only thing I would ask for perhaps?? is the temperature to show where the icon of the extension is in the Brave browser. Thank you.

So far okay, but not great. On default it detected my location without asking permission to allow location access. It auto set my city and my scale preference as I am Canadian and we use Celsius and kilometers instead of Fahrenheit and miles. It's not a live badge type extension. We have to click on it to open to see the weather. No hovering over to get a pop-up details. I'm still skeptical how it got my location information without asking for permission. I inspected the extension using the DEV mode and did not find anything that pointed to anything suspicious. I'm not a programmer, but I'm a bit of a geek. And I generally know my way around Chrome's Inspect tool because I've used it in the past to find hidden web pages and to source webpages extensions and other pages use to store or get their data from.
