Supported browsers
DeskTime supports the following web browsers:

Opera browsers and any browsers that have a language other than English as their default language will need a browser extension.
The extension will allow you to have a URL breakdown for the browsers in question. You will be able to see a particular URL as an application instead of Opera, for example.
For MacOS and Windows users (Extensions guide available here):
- A browser extension is required for the Opera browser.
- A browser extension is needed if an internet browser is in a language other than English.
My browser is not tracking URLs
In most cases, you will have to update your web browser. More info here.
For those who use an older DeskTime version for Windows or Linux operating systems, it is required to install the browser extension.
The extension will allow you to have a URL breakdown. You will be able to see a particular URL as an application instead of Chrome, for example. Please follow the links below to install the Extensions:
If you run the latest DeskTime version on Google Chrome, Safari, or Ms Edge, the extension is unnecessary.
Note! For the best experience, please keep your browser updated.
