User reviews

Users praise the New Tab Clock extension for its minimalistic, clean, and elegant clock display that performs well as a simple new tab replacement without extra permissions. However, several users request features like a seconds display, more customization options (colors, fonts, backgrounds), and integration of search bars. Some report compatibility issues, notably a white flash when used with Dark Reader and problems with bookmarks bar display. Overall, it is favored for its simplicity and utility despite some desired enhancements.
