User reviews
2 stars only to bring attention to a minor bug other wise 4 stars.
The Timeout seems to malfunction when set to over 30 seconds.
I confirmed on two versions of windows with two different minor versions of Edge. There are no other extensions installed. When 'No of seconds' <= 30 seconds extension performs as expected. I tested 10, 15, 30 seconds.
I when I tested 31, 40, 45, and 60 seconds the extension did not progress to the next tab as expected.
Tested on two versions of Edge:
Version 131.0.2903.86 (Official build) (64-bit)
Version 131.0.2903.112 (Official build) (64-bit)

Version 23H2
Installed on 11/10/2023

Works great. Would be nice to be able to set how many seconds per individual tab.
Rotates between tabs nicely, but when the timer set for longer than 30 seconds, nothing happens
