There's no option to STOP the timer. It makes no sense. Once you install it in your browser and set it up it just keeps running. This is a simple feature that should be included. What if I'm done studying and don't want this to run on my browser while I just normally use my computer????

DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED. Description says: "If you want to change these settings to other preprogrammed techniques (like 20-20-20 or 50-10) or design your own custom technique, just click on the Break helper icon and inside the popup click "Settings" icon."
There are two issues with achieving that functionality. The first is: There is no option for a 20-20-20 at all. You can only do two intervals like work time and break time. Second issue is that in order to do a work time and break time, you must use a 'full screen popup' alert style. If you select the 'notification' alert style, you no longer get any breaks - you just get a sound notification and your work time starts over again.
Still searching for an interval timer similar to 'Interval Timer' on Chrome by: Takashi Suzuki where I can set at least 3 different intervals - 20 minutes for sitting time, 8 minutes for standing time and 2 minutes to walk around so that I practice healthy movement through out my work day.

Great extensions. I really like that it makes a sound at the start and at the end.
Would be nice if the app allowed to take a break that's less than 1 minute.
