Installed the extension and 1) it knew I had an adblocker, required suspension. But then 2) it knew, and told me, my display settings and why they were wrong. 3) Immediate request for donation before I even had a chance to know if I like it or not. 4) Ads. Worries me where this extension dives into, and donations are fine but this feels like ebegging in as many formats as can be crammed in. But mostly --- diving into my system and TELLING ME ---- not appreciating that.

This was not designed for Google Chrome , it was designed for Firefox. Which is where it placed it , on my Firefox browser that I replaced with Chrome a little while ago. The Chrome browser is set up as default , so why does it stick it in my Firefox Browser? Its right in the chrome web store. Sorry Google , I am not impressed , you are not in control of your own store? Does not inspire confidence in your products , or how you look out for your customers. I usually have several browsers , it is bad enough I have to have multiple browsers because nobody puts enough effort into a browser that can do it all. For us non-techs , our browser is the frontline of defense. Now we have to worry it will be the trojan horse that brings about the next data dump.?

Nice but a waste of time (pun intended). It does not display as shown. You have to click to get that view. I'd want an option to have it on permanently.

There is no way to request support on the delopeers website. App opens a nag screen on a new tab advertising other apps each time chrome is loaded. Also the options menu for 'Date Today' is quite buggy. Uninstalling.

stamp doesn't work anymore. you can go to options and choose right click to stamp, but it is broken now. also, there is no need for this extension to read or change any data on any website i visit let alone all of the data on all of the websites. it has a very broad permission, which is ridiculous and deserves no higher than a 1 star rating for this reason alone. either way they do not fix anything

When hovering over the extension the date read out keeps flashing.

Why does it want to know my data on all websites!

Extension works well. But support is a bit of a mystery. I am instructed to visit the developer's website for support. There you can type a question and a list of support articles will show up, but if those don't answer your question, you are out of luck. There isn't a 'Contact Me' at the bottom, and no support email address I could find. Otherwise a good extension. In case the dev reads this, my question was about formatting the date to be copied into the clipboard. I'd like to format the date copied to the clipboard myself. Or have more options. I need YYYY-MM-DD for example.

I like this extension, however, I think it would be even better if you could show on the badge, the day of the month with the day name under it. It is strange because the only way to see the day name is with the analog clock in the background.

I would rate this extension five stars if only it gave me the option of displaying smaller time units; I am an online wargamer, and for me it's important for launching coordinated attacks. So for me, seconds are a must, tenth of a second would be nice, hundredth of a second would be perfect.

Would like to be able to change background color of pop-up time.

Good solution for lack of date mouseover/ display options on the taskbar of a Chromebook. I would give this extension 5 stars if it offered those features :)

I want the Date and Time to stay visible in the Browser Toolbar in a easily readable font size

It would be better if the time & date showed always without clicking the icon.
