It is interest good.

Excellent addon, anything superfluous, much better than Gismeteo and other solid adds. Отличное дополнение, ничего лишнего, не раздражает ненужными иконками и панелями, которые тянет за собой Gismeteo.

Wonderful add-on! I wouldn't use anything else!

This is exactly what I was looking for. So tired of going to the clunky old weather-channel site. This extension gives me all the pertinent information without even opening a new tab! :)

nice program, but if I can make a suggestion to allow color change of the temperature based on what it is (i.e. hot=red, cool=cyan, cold=blue, etc.)

I've used them all. This is one of the best weather ad on's available!

Suits my needs exactly.

Best

Love this extension, the toolbar icon is so handy and everything is at your fingertips. Upgraded to Pro for some nice added features, recommended!

I'm very glad to have this add-on.
Tim upgraded me to Pro.
Thanks!

I love this add-on! I was looking for an add-on without all the clunky stuff and this was just perfect. Easy to use, easy to read. Over all an awesome app

I love this extension. Where I live, weather is very important to me and this little extension keeps me up to date quickly and accurately. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would be would gladly do so. Great job, Tim!

ForcastFox was always my go-to. It just worked and fit my style. With its demise, followed by hit-and-miss “fixes,” I searched for a replacement weather add-in.

Enter Weather Extension… Specifically Weather Extension Pro.

Weather Extension is an up-and-coming weather add-in that provides a service I need in a way I need it. Its toolbar icon with popup extended forecast information provides me with up-to-date weather for any number of cities I need, an hourly forecast, in-depth weather-related data, and various radar views. It does so via a very modern presentation that flows pretty smoothly once you get the hang of it. For those wondering, weather information is provided by DarkSky.net.

Tim, the Weather Extension creator, is very responsive to user requests for assistance and is actively working to improve the add-in.

Overall, Weather Extension is a very good weather add-in. Here are some things that would make it better:

1. While the weather icon Weather Extension uses changes based on the current weather, the icon set is not very attractive. There is no current way to change the set. How about an option to change the set?

2. The weather icon does not display a current temperature overlay. Tim provided me a specific build that provided the overlay, which is great! Unfortunately, it really overshadows the actual icon, which itself wasn’t ideal in the first place. In addition, there is currently no option to turn the temperature overlay on or off.

3. On mouseover, the user sees a simple tooltip highlighting the current location, actual temperature and real feel temperature. Users like me would prefer to see the actual extended forecast on mouseover instead of the tooltip, or at the very least have an option to do so.

4. The weather is currently updated on a fixed 30-minute schedule. Some users might prefer a different schedule.

5. The extended forecast popup as presented is pretty straightforward. It has a Windows 10 feel to it. The current location is listed at the top. Unfortunately, although users can add other locations, they can’t currently delete the default location. Unless you’re interested in the default location, it’s a waste.

6. As stated, users may add multiple locations in the pro version. Unfortunately, there is no current way to automatically cycle through each location on a timed basis.

7. The weather icons, again, are not to my taste given their Windows 10-like style. Unfortunately, users do not have an option to choose another set. Pro users can see an animated set, but it’s the same design style as the fixed.

8. If using the NoScript add-in, the radar will not work unless you allow the DarkSky.net website. This may be an issue for some. I've used other weather add-ins that did not require the user to allow another website.

On a personal note, I did have problems with the extended forecast popup often freezing Firefox, forcing me to have to use Task Manager to close Firefox, then restart the program. I tried the add-in with all other add-ins disabled, yet still had the issue. Tim helped narrow it down to a specific Firefox setting. While the problem is mostly resolved, it does still occur on rare occasions.

That said, I expect Tim will continue to improve Weather Extension, hopefully incorporating some of the suggestions above. In addition, I suggest he look at the competition and how it presents the weather. Some competitors present some elements in a better way (for me at least).

In the meantime, Weather Extension is well worth your consideration!

Thank you

Accurate and fast, I'm glad to have this add-on. Tim responded to my questions and upgraded me to Pro and I would gladly recommend his work.

4 years later and this is the best weather browser add on I've used. Tim cares about providing the service. It even knows where Ardee is.

I was disappointed when ForecastFox fix edition stopped working correctly and a working version was not in sight, but now that a friend pointed out this extension, I'm a happy camper again.

Other reviews seem to complain about features missing or not working correctly, but the version I'm using seems to have everything working correctly, with the desired features present. And one complaint reads as if the writer can't tell the difference between ForecastFox and Weather-extension - two different critters!

No, the display isn't the same as ForecastFox - thank Mozilla for "improving" Firefox and breaking that - but it works smoothly and gives me plenty of information to meet my needs.

"Try it, you'll like it!"
