# Minimalistic Toolbar Clock

> A minimal digital clock in the browser toolbar

I like to keep the Windows taskbar hidden aiming for less screen-noise, this meant loosing the clock information which I didn't want to loose. This extension fixes that by drawing the current time directly on the browser toolbar icon.

Clicking the icon opens a list of all your time zones, with their UTC offset and current time. You can add as many as you need, give them your own labels and choose which one is shown in the toolbar.

Built with plain JavaScript  and has no dependencies. It works in Chrome and other Chromium browsers, only asks for the storage and alarms permissions and collects no data.
