The option is configurable: check very 1, 2, 3 or 5 seconds Q: Does this extension have access to my browsing history, etc? A: It does NOT. Moreover, it does not require any special access at all (you can notice that other extensions ask you to give them some permissions during the installation process) Q: Can this extension measure Internet speed? A: It cannot. Please, use Speedtest by Ookla (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speedtest-by-ookla/pgjjikdiikihdfpoppgaidccahalehjh?hl=en) Q: Will it work if Chrome is closed?

A: Yes, you can Q: Is there a Firefox extension? A: Currently, only Google Chrome and Microsoft EDGE are supported Icons by flaticon.com
