Timer doesn't count down at the rate of one minute per minute

Sometimes, the timer counts down at the rate of around one minute every thirty seconds. This is particularly noticeable when I add ten minutes to the daily website limit and it only gives me another five before timing out, but I can also sometimes see that the timer in the corner of the screen is counting down much faster than the clock on my laptop.

timer does not count down if you switch tabs but have video playing still

if i have a youtube video playing, the timer only counts down as long as I am on that tab. If i switch to working on different tabs but have the video playing in the background, the timer stays frozen. This is a valid use case for me and I would like to limit my usage even if it's in the background. anything that can be done ?

Timer resets when closing chrome

I've been using this extension for months without issues, but just starting today I've been running into this problem where the timer resets to it's initial value whenever I close and reopen chrome. It only resets when I fully exit out of chrome and reopen it, does not reset when closing and reopening tabs.

After the daily limit it is impossible to return to the original site

Thanks for the plugin, but after the number of daily minutes I've limited to myself is up, I can't go back to what was open there, it just shows me the blocked green page, and I can't remember what was open there before. What do I do so I can go back to the previous page?*Important note: When I clicked on Google on 'Return' (the up arrow) - I didn't have the option to return to the page that was open before the plug-in was blocked.

Counter not counting down

After installing the counters work fine, but they get stuck after about a day and don't decrease at all. Happened twice after reinstalling it.

disable Notifications

Hello, thanks for this fantastic extention: simple and useful!!!!
is there a way to disable the Brave notifications for 10-5-3 min remaining?
because for sites where I set a small timer, the notification appears everytime i open the page or refresh it and it's annoying.
I prefer use the banner or nothing at all that remind me the time left.
thanks!

How to set time limits

So I might be dumb but how do I set time limits for specific websites? I downloaded the extension but haven't found a way to set the time limit...

Not working on Brave

I have just installed the extension but there is no option to set the time limits. I have tried going to the settings for the extension and there is nothing there. I am using Brave Browser, could this be why?

Page location lost

Hi, when my time is up, all my open tabs on that site (in this case twitter) turn into the Limit page. When it's a new day, how do I get back to the tabs I was on before? I would like to not lose what I was reading.
