There are many timezone and world clock apps out there. However, they simply display the current time in various cities. If you wish to find out the time in Paris at 5pm local time, you would need to make mental calculations. "What is the Time" is the app that simplifies this process with just a swipe on the time ruler. Easily move time forwards or backwards and observe the city clocks update in real time. This feature facilitates planning for future meetings. You can personalize the city names with those of your loved ones, team members, or special memories. Sort the cities alphabetically or chronologically, or rearrange them manually in your desired order. The color of the city changes during the transition from day to night. No subscriptions or ads involved, just a one-time in-app purchase to access more than 3 cities.

uBO Lite (uBOL) is a reliable and efficient content blocker. The default ruleset corresponds to uBlock Origin's default filterset: - uBlock Origin's built-in filter lists - EasyList - EasyPrivacy - Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list You can enable more rulesets by visiting the options page -- click the _Cogs_ icon in the popup panel. uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required _only_ when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.
