Which extension is this? Please give us a link to JED or the developer's page.

At github you have the option to download the code as zip.

However, do you want to install 5 year old code of a module
that does not support the Joomla update function?

Why is such an extension still listed in JED?

Much appreciate all your help .. AGAIN.

I think as a simple fast counter it still work I think even in Jm 4 .. to be confirmed. I use it in infrequently in occasional odd spot.

The Joomla update requirement is applicable only to new extensions, AFAIK.

If an extension does not work out-of-the-box in a currently supported version of Joomla, the extension should be reported, first to the developer separately, and if there is no response, to the JED team, by using the Report button in the JED entry.

I had a quick look at the source code. The source code seems to have been designed for J! 2.5 and does not conform to J! 3.8 coding standards (as a minimum). I would not recommend this extension in J! 4 in its present form. 8)
