This show count down from 35h? Isn't a week longer than 35h?
It's odd. At first it shows is 336 hours, 0 mins, and 0 seconds and then it counts down to 35:59:59. Clearly a bug.

I agree with you in general but not in this particular case. Best case scenario: you get a five minute timer running right away. Worst case scenario: you click the first link and get a five minute timer right away
First link would be ad-filled, SEO gamed bullshit.

Huh that's weird. It actually shows the correct 336h for a few milliseconds first and then counts back from 35h. I wonder what's happening internally - messing up a timer shouldn't be that easy normally, right?

Screw those people for trying to monetize something you’re expecting to use for free. Your phone and computer have the capability to do timers. Why are you googling a timer with this attitude in the first place?
Source? At least on macOS, i'm not aware of any built in timer or stopwatch.

#97I still can't synchronize a timer across Google Homes in the same location.
For a purpose-built cloud frontend, it's not very cloudy.

#99How are people supposed to use features like this if they get dropped and re-added from time to time? If I want a convenient timer, googling "set 5 minute timer" has no advantage if I don't know whether it will work or not. Inconsistency is an enemy of convenience.
