Timer

It's needless to say that people are spending more and more time on the internet these days: for better or worse, the web is now deeply entrenched in contemporary society, so looking to be more mindful of how you spend your time browsing is commendable. Having metrics relating to what sites you usually visit, how much time you spend on a specific domain, and so on, can be of use to some.

Timer is an extension that was specifically designed to help users track how they spend their time. As you're surfing the web, the extension will chart what domains you visit, how often, for how long, and so forth.

Figures and charts about how one spends their time may be useful to some, and completely irrelevant to others. However, such tools are worth exploring, because they provide data that may help some users who are perhaps looking to cut down on the time they spend on the web. This add-on is especially simple to set up and get started with, as it's up and running the next second after installing.

Right away, the extension's icon will display the time you're spending on the current page through its icon. To view more detailed information, click the icon, and you'll see a graph that reveals today's data. This data presents the websites you've visited for the current day, how much time you've spent on them, and how often you accessed those domains. Weekly and monthly data is also available in the same menu.

The Dashboard menu provides a more thorough overview of the previously mentioned data. You can see what websites you visited most often in the last month, what days you've browsed less than one hour, as well as figures about your browsing behavior. Users can also set daily limits for their browsing, which can help cut down on browsing time for certain domains. If you wish, you can whitelist certain domains, excluding them from being tabulated.

Timer is an extension that is quite serious about its time tracking duties: users now have the ability to track their browsing habits right through their browser, without having to set anything up.
