👓 FAQ 🌎 https://internetmon.org/#faq
Q: Where is the extension icon?
A: At some point Google Chrome changed the way extensions are displayed. You need to click on the puzzle icon to the right of the address bar and then pin Internet Connection Monitor
Q: What exactly can be monitored?
A: The extension monitors the Internet connection and reports 3 statuses:
🟢 Online: LAN (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) connection is stable, Internet connected
🟠 Connection issues: if Chrome itself cannot properly determine whether Internet connection is down while you're connected to LAN (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) - this status will popup. Most likely, your LAN (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) is connected, but there is no Internet connection behind it. In most cases, it is ISP/provider issue
🔴 Offline: LAN (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) is down, no Internet
Q: How does the extension test the connectivity?
A: The extension uses a combination of Chrome internal API and pinging Google servers via https (port 443). It does not expose any open ports or something else that could compromise user's security
Q: What is the testing interval?
A: How frequently to ping Google servers to determine the status of Internet connection. The option is configurable: check very 1, 2, 3 or 5 seconds
Q: Does this extension have access to my browsing history, etc?
A: It does NOT. Moreover, it does not require any special access at all (you can notice that other extensions ask you to give them some permissions during the installation process)
Q: Can this extension measure Internet speed?
A: It cannot. Please, use Speedtest by Ookla 🌎 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speedtest-by-ookla/pgjjikdiikihdfpoppgaidccahalehjh?hl=en
Q: Will it work if Chrome is closed?
A: Not, it will not. You need to have a Chrome window open to track your connection log. It's relatively easy to add Chrome to autostart on Windows, Mac or Linux
Q: Will it work if computer is in sleep?
A: Yes, it should work, but the mechanism of tracking the disconnects while the computer is in sleep has not been thoroughly tested. Macs, for example, wake up every couple minutes and ICM checks the connection. But do not rely on precise measurement during the computer sleep, keep the computer running. Alternatively, use Realtime monitor feature inside ICM to check what's going on. Access it via main extension popup
Q: Can you use it on Microsoft EDGE, Brave or Chromium?
A: Yes, you can. It works on all Chromium-based browsers
Q: Is there a Firefox extension?
A: Currently, only Google Chrome and Microsoft EDGE are supported. There is a feature request 🌎 https://bit.ly/icm-firefox to implement the Firefox version. Vote for it if you want to speed up the development
Q: Can you give an advice on how to improve Internet connection overall?
A: Read the article about the 3 primary reasons of Internet connection issues 🌎 https://bit.ly/icm-improve-conn

- (2024-01-25) Steve Schwartz: Update 1/25/2024: Oops: the icon is configurable, my dumb error. I guess the update changed it, however, so I JUST SPOKE TOO SOON. Fixed, and still at 5 stars++ . Sorry for the error...Update 1/24/2024 - the new icon is just plain awful: the nice big green dot was much more discernible, and the new one is almost invisible. Plus, the adoption of the WiFi symbol is misleading/confusing in addition to being hard to spot. Please at least make the old green dot optional. Otherwise, it is still useful, but this tarnishes a gold reputation. Exactly what I was looking for - very much appreciated!
- (2023-11-14) Stephen Mueller: Exactly what I needed!
- (2023-11-14) Philip Buckland: Exactly what I needed to figure out that my internet connection and not my router was the cause of the problem!
- (2023-10-26) Shayan Siddiqui: Hey thanks this is very useful, and thankyou for supporting ukraine, can you please put one for palestine too thnx
- (2023-10-03) Gege Gaming: mantap
- (2023-09-27) Gary Roberson: SIMPLE TO READ AND USE. I don't honestly know why someone hasn't thought of this WAY before now. We have Spectrum, and our node for the entire neighbohood went down. It sucked, and the only way I kept my sanity was to look and quickly see if it was down by a simple red X or green checkmark. And I plan on using the detailed statistics log to prove they owe me about a weeks worth of credit!
- (2023-09-26) Mahmod Ashraf: this extension is very useful, just use it. it is essential for every internet user
- (2023-08-26) Angelo Absolom: Very nice tool to check problems with your connection, now I will actually have proof of how many times it drops for my ISP, I can just create the pdf for them. 🙂
- (2023-08-24) Paul: A good tool, when it works. Not sure if its a problem with the browser (Brave) but recently I get no response from it when clicking on the icon.
- (2023-08-04) Dean-Ryan Stone: Excellent utility for determining outage time and duration. My router is mysteriously losing internet connection and I'm having massive problems trying to figure out the cause. The diagnostics from this utility helps immensely.
- (2023-07-28) Richard Flathmann: Superb tool! Having a lot of issues with my connection going up and down yet 99% of the time when I called Xfinity the connection checked out fine. :-/ Now I have solid proof and a nice log to prove I'm not making this issue up. The extra functions are awesome. Thanks so much to the dev!
- (2023-07-06) Nutella Lover: Probably a good tool but I was not really using it. I had to remove it as, yestereday, it started triggering Malware warnings in Armor Bitdefender ...
- (2023-06-21) Woodlands Away (WoodlandsAway10): A Must Have for Chrome!
- (2023-04-15) Witty Humour: Great simple program for monitoring your Ethernet Connection. Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- (2023-03-03) R P: Great simple program for non-expert user to monitor when my router connection is going down. I have a mesh system and was able to use this to monitor the ethernet connection of each satelite separately to determinine which satelite was loosing connection to the main router. Found it!
- (2023-02-20) Avi Barel: A very good informative interface, Thanks. Could you elaborate more regarding the algorithm you use to determine "connection-down"? I assume ICMP is used... Do you distinguish between an accidental drop and a real connection lost...?
- (2023-02-02) D O: This is an awesome and simple tool. I was having problems with my connection dropping constantly and initially I thought it was a problem with my ISP since I recently moved to 5G internet. With this extension I was able to figure out that I had in fact a faulty usb-c port (the one I was using for my ethernet cable. I bought an ethernet to usb adapter instead and have had zero connectivity problems since then. Great work!!
- (2023-01-28) Kerem Kayhan: A handy extension if you are having connection issues.
- (2023-01-27) paul rose: This is great! and the only way I can show to my provider whats happening with my internet. Unfortuately my provider says just to ignore this app and cant fix the problem.
- (2022-12-24) J: Justo lo que buscaba, estaba teniendo microcortes al azar y queria saber si habia un patron en los cortes.
- (2022-12-20) Kadich Paji: Simple and works as required. Perfect!
- (2022-11-09) Franco Arenas Mamani: Funciona
- (2022-11-09) Kirill Lozovatsky: That is exactly what I need to very quickly monitor mobile internet connection.
- (2022-11-09) MAN: It works amazing, it detects when internet goes offline instantly, the only thing I wish I could choose a different notification sound so I can hear it better , the current one I can barely hear it even at full volume, can you please add more notification sounds ? Cheers
- (2022-11-03) Dean Wilber: Works great for me!
- (2022-09-21) Michael: Worked exactly as advertised, helped me show my ISP when my connection was dropping.
- (2022-08-31) Alexandre Emond: Good to catch up to under a second internet lost. Works well with nice log. Seems to isolate Internet problem from Wifi problem.
- (2022-08-17) Bill: Doesn't catch all disconnects. Run "ping -t IP" from windows command prompt and it catches all of them (ones that this app didn't catch).
- (2022-07-03) alaska Canyon: good app . but need use service worker . 40 mg memory usage is bad
- (2022-06-12) Valentin ILIEV: Great simple app. My ISP was telling me my internet is just fine but I was able to show them the log with all the drop outs and they started working on the problem (not that they resolved it so far).
- (2022-05-05) David Polanco: A mi me es de demasiada utilidad, espero que lo compilen para otros navegadores como Firefox y Edge.
- (2022-04-30) Vas Gk: Great tool. We have a main router that reaches 100% cpu load during the day and this tool is great for logging the number of disconnects and the duration of them
- (2022-03-21) Yuliia Shcherbyna: cool extension, highly recommend! Glory to Ukraine!
- (2022-03-21) Александр Ковтонюк: Glory to Ukraine
- (2022-03-21) Ihor Ostapjuk: Glory to Ukraine
- (2022-03-21) Polina Karpenko: 🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
- (2022-03-21) Michael Fridrikhson: Support Ukrainian products! Glory to Ukraine!
- (2022-03-21) Maksym Tarasenko: Countries of the world, stand together with Ukraine!
- (2022-03-20) Inderjit Singh: Wow so simple but helped me figure out why I kept on getting disconnections. Apparently I had 2 connections running to my switch from my modem and giving me disconnections every few mins for the last 8 months. I have a large network so it was impossible to find without knowing when the disconnections stopped if it was a constant disconnect it would be easy but it was intermittent so i would have to disconnect a wire see if anything went down and see if it messed with my signal
- (2022-03-16) Ivan Fontane: My internet is dropping out in and out sometimes and I've been trying to figure it out. This app does not identify any issues when clearly I lose internet connection. What could that mean? Does that mean it's not my internet and my hardware ?
- (2022-03-10) Darien Young: Works great so far. Thanks a lot. Very helpful. Lost internet connection several times while writing this short review alone! Haha. The sound indicator is a very helpful feature. Nice UI design as well with good options and not confusing in any way. Well done.
- (2022-03-09) firmansyah firmansyah: baik lah
- (2022-02-08) Ashwin P: It works like a charm thank you for making this, If there was an Android version for this that would help a lot, also the Print or Export to PDF option only shows printing option and not exporting, also it would be great if the icon (yellow, red) also got recorded since it's confusing b/w "No internet connection" and "No internet connection. Wi-Fi/Ethernet OK"
- (2022-01-22) John Berthoty: Just what I needed. I think my connection is dropping out very briefly. Too short for the extension to catch on a PC connected via ethernet, but my PC connected via wireless shows many disconnects. Thanks for this app!
- (2021-10-15) Arpit Gawande: Very useful and accurate to check internet connection drops
- (2021-09-19) Babygremlins: the log does not show the connectivity in a continuous timeline so it's no good if you want to use it to prove to your internet provider that access was down. it only logs the lack of connection for like 10 seconds then shows no entries until it gets a successful connection whatever amount of time later. so you have no positive proof to show your internet provider for the downtime gap. so the log is worthless.
- (2021-09-19) ABC: It works absolutely & very accurate. Keep it up developer. Nice job done.
- (2021-09-12) Jorge Vicente Lopes da Silva: Great tool!! Very accurate, friendly and useful. The log file is fantastic. Very good job.
- (2021-08-10) Jim Wachholz: Great extension to help provide information to the ISP so they could fix internet problems. It totaled 71 disconnects over 24 hours yesterday. Today the log shows ~40 disconnects but the summary drop down only shows 6 disconnects in 24 hours. Is something wrong with the summary pulldown? Am I not understanding the summary "Disconnects, 24h" properly? Thanks
- (2021-07-31) Dave Walwark: Helpful.
