Google seek’s timer and stopwatch began ticking once more

30 days ago Google Search timer and stopwatch feature stopped working. Well, I’m happy to report that the stopwatch has been fixed and is now working again.

I literally checked several times a day and now it works. Here’s a GIF of it in action to find [set a timer for 10 minutes].

Only the note, title or tab of the page actually counts as well, which is a nice touch that Google added. This way you can see what the timer is planning on the tab without bringing the tab to the front.

Google’s Danny Sullivan also tweeted about it:

Welcome back “Google has set the timer to X minutes.” Kudos to the team that worked to get this working again. pic.twitter.com/I6V8bZCm7i
