Hello everyone. This browser extension was created for my personal use. I spend a significant amount of time on the browser every day, and one day I thought it would be helpful to track how much time I spend on certain websites, to see if I'm getting too addicted to a particular site like Twitter. That's why I developed this browser plugin.

I'm aware that there are already many time-tracking tools and websites available, such as RescueTime, WakaTime, and others. However, I believe the core idea behind this plugin is to respect privacy. Your browsing history should not be uploaded to any server, and you can export all the records as a CSV file to view them with your preferred tools, even when you're not using this plugin.

Additionally, browser extension have an advantage in that they can accurately track your browsing by listening to tab switches and window focus status. This way, the records will be more precise.

Currently, this extension is still in its early stages, but the core functionality has been completed. In the future, I plan to add more comprehensive data visualization charts and features such as proactive reminders when your browsing time on a website exceeds a certain threshold, and more.
