User reviews

FoxClocks is a popular and well-loved Chrome extension that provides customizable multi-timezone clocks, aiding users in coordinating across regions. However, recent updates have introduced issues like the need to refresh pages, broken displays, and incorrect timezone data. It also faces compatibility problems with some sites and browsers, occasionally causing layout issues or functional disruptions such as blocking PDFs. Users appreciate its configurability and usefulness but desire bug fixes and features like site exclusion to improve stability and compatibility.

Pros

Provides time display for multiple time zones, useful for working with colleagues across different locations.
Highly configurable and customizable to user preferences.
Generally useful and reliable for many websites.
Has a long history of positive use since at least 2018, with users expressing love for the extension.
Helps immensely in scheduling and understanding time differences.

Cons

Recent 2024 update/beta version caused functionality problems, including need to refresh pages to display times.
Extension sometimes disappears from the bottom bar or stops updating the time, requiring multiple clicks or refreshes.
Incompatibility issues with certain sites such as Google Sheets, YouTube, or Microsoft Edge causing display problems or preventing PDFs from opening.
Incorrect timezone representations, especially for US time zones and daylight saving time.
Lack of an exclude or blacklist feature to prevent the extension from interfering with certain websites' layouts.

It's really good but what about adding date?

After spending some time playing with this extension, you can make it work by: pin extension (easy access), then click on options, on the new tab with adjustable timer of extension, do your web serving and the time will stay on the page only. If you have some other tabs open, can just copy & paste the time adjustable tab and then click back button on browser to have timer on the tab you wanted in. Will not work well with row extention on YT.

Love the extension but it has stopped working, it is not loading anymore, I have to click on it multiple times in order for it to show up but even then, it will close on me again. Some recent update broke this one, it was working flawlessly.

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.

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