User reviews

Users appreciate Screentime for helping them monitor and limit time spent on distracting websites, enhancing productivity and reducing social media addiction. The extension is praised for ease of use and customizability. However, common issues include unreliable scheduled blocking, abrupt tab closures instead of pausing or redirecting, timer inaccuracies when the browser is not active, and a lack of advanced features like usage visualization and uninstall protection. Many users request improvements in these areas to make the tool more effective and user-friendly.

Cons

Blocking based on scheduled times often doesn't work or is inconsistent.

Limited visualization/history features to monitor usage over time.
Password protection for uninstalling is missing, making it easy to disable.

The feature that blocks websites for specific times/days of the week does not work. That is the reason why I downloaded this extension over other ones so please fix this!!!

Such a great extension i always wanted to have a screen time record for my browsing and now i have one. For the people who are saying that it only records youtube its because they haven't added any other links so the extension can time those websites. To add more websites go to Timers>add timer> paste the link of the website you wanna track.

I installed the extension a week ago and I thought it was going to be the answer to all my prayers, but it doesn't do anything now. I'm only blocking one site on a schedule and starting yesterday I can visit that site as if it's not blocked.
