I like the extension,it works well in general. However, the override function does not work in playlists including "watch later". After clicking overwrite, you get blocked again immedialtelely. |

I love the concept of a youtube timer and I think your extension is made very well. However, I've noticed that even when I'm not using youtube it still takes time off; even after I start. I've also noticed that sometimes when I'm in a different tab and the timer is done, that it tells me it's done in the tab that isn't Youtube. |

Would it be ok if you could add a generic timer to count how many hours, minutes, seconds you visit and browsing Youtube content in a day? For example a timer that says "Today up until now you spent "hours,minutes,seconds" on Youtube. And maybe have like a log of previous times up to say like three days before. Thank you |

Works great, but i wish there was a way to set a certain time frame, after which the limit will turn back on. |

The override function rarely, if ever works. Standard function works well enough. |
