- Extremely useful as a meeting timer, with team members who don't come to the meeting prepared, and tend to waste time to others.

- I just installed this, and so far it works well. I'd love to have the option to display the timer in a larger font, and also a larger countdown letting you know that the tab is about to close. A way to delay or cancel the tab closure would be nice, too, in case I'm in the middle of typing something. Thanks for considering these suggestions! :)

- I love this for what it does. I wish there was a feature to not close the tab.. and instead just notify.
