User reviews

Users find the Time Tracker extension simple, effective, and valuable for monitoring and improving online productivity. It accurately tracks site usage over time, helping users understand their habits. However, multiple reviews highlight limitations such as lack of multi-device sync, incomplete tracking of inactive or background tabs, absence of detailed time breakdowns, and limited customization. Enhancements like alarms, automatic data exports, and improved data presentation could further boost its usefulness.

Pros

Simple and straightforward to use, providing exactly what is needed for time tracking.
Helps increase productivity by showing users how much time they spend on specific websites.
Allows users to understand their internet habits and make better decisions for work and personal development.
Has been reliable and valuable for long-term users.
Provides useful data that can help combat inaccurate perceptions of time spent on sites.

Cons

Lacks syncing across multiple devices, which limits usability for users with multiple devices.
Does not track time accurately when a tab is not in focus or when the browser window loses keyboard focus, causing potential double-counting or missed tracking.
Missing features like daily/hourly breakdowns, alarms for time limits, and automatic data export or deletion management.
Limited customization options, such as inability to add websites to ignore list or save preferences like daily clearing of stats.
Presentation of data is basic and could benefit from improvements like better formatting, specifying the range of dates for stats, or filtering insignificant data.

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.

Time Tracker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
