I use this extension all the time to see how long I've been browsing a day. You can configure it to ignore certain sites, (such as me, and my localhost
) You can pause it, you can set it to stop counting after you don't move on a page for 2 seconds (2sec is what I set mine to) so you can keep reading and it doesn't add. So far I've been browsing for 30 minutes and 8 seconds. It re-starts every day. And I've browsed 48 hours since installing the thing.
Try it out and see what you think. It sits in your statusbar.
