Year Progress displays the elapsed time progress bar for this year in the browser tab (Chrome extension)

I follow an account called “Year Progress” on Twitter,It will display the percentage of progress this year in the form of a progress bar, which seems to have a more reminding effect than telling you that the remaining days of the year will end.At the beginning of each year, everyone will set the goal that they want to accomplish this year. It’s just that they usually have too little mobility or are used to procrastinating until the time is almost over until they find that they don’t seem to have done anything. If you want to grasp the time well, you can try to turn it on every time. When the browser is paging, it reminds you what percentage has been progressed this year.

The difference is that under the Microsoft Edge browser, the extension function that changes the user’s page will be automatically disabled. Of course, this is a security consideration to prevent users from accidentally installing the problematic plug-in.

So how do you enable it? It’s very simple. Just go to the “Extensions” page of your browser and turn on the switch at the back of the Year Progress plug-in to open it.

The first time you use Year Progress, there will be a language selection screen, you can directly select the English interface, and then you will be asked to enter your name.

The browser’s default paging screen will be replaced by Year Progress. At the beginning, you will see a quick launch website button at the top, the current time, week and year’s time progress bar will be displayed in the middle, and the motto will be randomly displayed at the bottom. Adding a new bookmark or setting is to find the corresponding function in the lower left corner.

From the settings, you can choose whether the time axis should be displayed as a column or circle graph in date or percentage. You can also choose a positive number or a reciprocal number.

What you may want to change is the background image. Year Progress has built-in some pretty beautiful patterns. By adjusting the transparency, there will be a different effect. If you want to use your own image, you can upload the image to Imgur or For other free image spaces, just copy and paste the URL to apply to the page displayed by Year Progress.

There will be a row of bookmark links at the top of the page. You can add your frequently used websites. The settings include names and URLs. By default, there are several example links, which can be modified or deleted in the settings.

In addition, Year Progress also allows users to choose whether to enable the motto and to-do functions. If you want to make the paging clean, you can consider turning them off. It is also a pity to modify it from the settings page. The search box is not added. Sometimes when you open a new tab, you really need the search function.
