best little utc clock

Idk how a clock extension keeps breaking, but lordy it's funny to me. 0000-0059 shows as 2400-2459, randomly freezes unless it's clicked on. Funniest thing is, this is the best one on the store.

UTC time no longer visible on toolbar. I rely on being able to glance at the time, like any other clock.
