JS to show the timer in html under title instead of in the status bar

[jomat]

I have a really old js (15 years old) that I used to use. The script is for a quiz. The htm calls the js and the quiz begins. The timer used to be displayed in the browser status bar. Since many many years ago, the status bar is no longer available in edge or chrome anymore.
Can some help with some suggestion on getting the timer to show on an htm instead of the status bar?
Thanks ahead of time.

You could try something like this but replace the time with your countdown timer
