I have been using google calendar to run my business for nearly 2 decades. At some point 12-15 years ago, Calendar restricted the All Day Events section to just a tiny fraction of the screen, with no way to adjust. I just discovered this extension 15 minutes ago. Whoever wrote this app you are a god send! Thank you thank you thank you!

I searched and found this primarily for removing/blocking the mouse scroll changing the months in the calendar (so annoying and prone to making note/addition mistakes on events, etc). It seemed to install without issues, but then when clicking the extension icon the page would quickly refresh and the 'settings' pop out would disappear. I read some previous reviews here mentioning the 'remove-reinstall' fix and removed the extension, closed the browser, opened it, navigated to the extension in the store, added it, opened Google calendar, and clicked on the icon, and then connect. After giving Google access permissions the extension icon now opens the settings pop out which remains open for selections to be made. Bueno!

I had the same problem as Sina Laura after the update. I tracked the issue down to this extension and then saw the developer's comment. I did the actions suggested and, bingo! It's working fine again. Thanks for the fix information. Chrome Version 135.0.7049.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GCalPlus requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
