Review Summary

Users appreciate FoxClocks for its configurability and usefulness in displaying world times, especially for scheduling across time zones. However, recent updates have introduced significant bugs causing the extension to become unreliable, often requiring page refreshes or multiple clicks to function. There are compatibility issues with certain websites and incorrect timezone displays, including problems with daylight saving adjustments. Additionally, users request features like excluding certain sites to prevent the clock from overlaying content. Despite the issues, many long-time users still find it valuable and hope for fixes.

  • Useful for viewing multiple world clocks simultaneously.
  • Helpful for scheduling across different time zones and collaborating with colleagues globally.
  • Simple and shows time in a preferred customizable format.
  • Many users have loved and used the extension for several years.

Cons

  • Recent updates around 2024 have introduced bugs causing the extension to stop working or require page refreshes to display times.
  • Disappears or closes unexpectedly, requiring multiple clicks or page reloads to access the time display.
  • Incompatibility with some websites like Google Sheets, YouTube, and PDFs causing display issues or breaking site functionality.
  • Incorrect time display for certain time zones and does not properly adjust for daylight saving time.
