User reviews
I was hesitant to download the extension after reading all of these reviews, but finally decided to try it and see for myself. I tend to switch projects often and not having an extension makes my time-tracking extremely difficult. I'm happy to say, it seems to be working perfectly fine after several hours of use using the DuckDuckGo extension on Chrome (Windows). I'll update this if I run into any crashes, but so far so good!
Many times the extension struggles to load and must be clicked and left multiple times or it sits and spins. Previous versions as others mentioned did work better, and I too am missing the search feature. Another feature that would be helpful would be a quick click to open freshbooks in a new tab. Due to the loss of search feature and the loading issue, I've given the extension a 3/5 stars. I'm a long time user (more than 8 years) of Freshbooks.
It's useless. You need to log in every time you want to use it and the login process takes even longer than logging in on the website. They also say it integrates with Trello, which is false. I wish I would have known all this before committing for a year.
