Support – Angelus Bell Chrome Extension

Thank you for using the Angelus Bell Chrome Extension — a tool to help you pause and pray the Angelus three times daily. Below you’ll find help with common issues and ways to contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

🔔 The bell didn’t ring at the scheduled time. What should I do?

Ensure that your selected times are saved and that notifications are enabled. Check that Chrome is running and not in Focus Mode or Do Not Disturb.

🔇 I see the Angelus tab, but there's no sound. What should I do?

Some versions of Chrome may block audio from playing automatically. If the tab opens but you don’t hear the bell, try the following:

• Look for a speaker icon in the address bar and click it to allow sound.
• Go to chrome://settings/content/sound and make sure "Sites can play sound" is turned on.
• If needed, add your extension to the Allow list using: chrome-extension://<your-extension-id>

Once allowed, the bell should ring automatically each time the tab opens.

🕰 I only want the tab to open without sound. Is that possible?

Yes. In the extension popup, you can select “No Sound” under bell tone options. The Angelus prayers will still appear at the scheduled times if you’ve enabled that setting.

💡 How do I test the extension manually?

Run this code in your Chrome Dev Console to simulate the Angelus tab opening:

chrome.tabs.create({ url: 'bell.html', active: true });

Permissions & Settings

⚙️ Extension Permissions

If the bell or tab isn't triggering, double-check that the extension has the necessary permissions. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions, find “Angelus Bell,” and make sure it's enabled and allowed to run in the background.

🕒 Time Zone Accuracy

The extension uses your computer's system clock to determine when to trigger the Angelus. Make sure your system time and time zone are accurate for consistent behavior.

🔧 Conflicts With Other Extensions

Some privacy or tab management extensions may block the new tab or sound playback. If you're experiencing issues, try temporarily disabling other extensions to identify the conflict.
