This extension is just gray now and doesn't show the time for me anymore. It was useful while it worked :)

Update: Clock in the status bar doesn't update. Have to click on it to show the correct time. Original Review (Aug 1, 2021): I like it but It can be super hard to read with the white on green. Providing a few color options would be helpful, like a high contrast mode maybe?

Just shows local machine time corrected for timezone instead of real internet time. No added value over system time.

I've used this extension for years. No longer works.

I really like the concept. Having the UTC clock in the corner is a great idea!

Nice concept but the problem is I'm checking UTC time with the US Naval Observatory (which I guess is as right as you can get it) and this extension reports a time which is shifted 1 hour with respect to that time. Perhaps this is dependent on my computer clock? If so, this is not good, as the result will depend on up to date knowledge of daylight savings in my country, etc. which is a policy that has been changing during the last years. The safest strategy would be that the extension would fetch the time from a time server, periodically updating it (e.g. after 1 hour, 1 day or whatever).

Time displayed on the badge is inaccurate. It differs from the time shown when you click on the badge . For example, the badge shows 17:22z but when you click on it, the little window that opens shows 16:52z.

Idk how a clock extension keeps breaking, but lordy it's funny to me. 0000-0059 shows as 2400-2459, randomly freezes unless it's clicked on. Funniest thing is, this is the best one on the store.

UTC time no longer visible on toolbar. I rely on being able to glance at the time, like any other clock.

The new update makes it too small and doesn't show the time unless you click on it. Sometimes if it's not broke, don't fix it!

Have been using this extension for 2 yrs. Earlier I was able to figure out time just by looking at it. Its too small now, that I have to manually click it to get the time.

Would love to get better text and font colors. White on green font is hardly visible.

Depends on host system for calculation of time and accuracy. Better if it would sync with Internet.

It would be great if 3, 6, 8 & 9 did not all look very similar.

The white on green icon is hard to see.

OK. A good basic start. But.. it would be a GREAT improvement if you you showed local (system) time as e.g UTC +/- 10 hours and the UTC date. It is not simple matter of time when one lives on other side of the world. IMO, Dev should check out FoxClocks extension for Firefox to see how it should be done.
