Web extension to track time wasted on addictive websites
Are there websites that you wish you would visit less often? The web counts numerous addictive, unproductive, distractive websites. This web extension shows you the last time you visited such websites and encourages you to keep off of them.
✔ Choose the websites you want to track
✔ Show the collective last visit time
✔ Show the longest streak to keep you motivated
✔ Minimalist UI
✔ Privacy-focused
✔ Open-source
This extension only reads your local history and doesn't share it. The list of websites you track is only stored locally and is not sync with your Google/Firefox account.
The duration of longest streak is calculated between visits to exact URLs. For example, if you add https://www.youtube.com, but always access YouTube through https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions (e.g. via a bookmark), the later URL won't be taken into account.
Beware also of query parameters:
https://www.youtube.com and https://www.youtube.com/?gl=CH are considered as two different URL.
In Chrome, the longest streak is only recorded over the last three months, because Chrome doesn't keep browser history records that are older than three months. In my opinion, this is not an issue, because if you can refrain from visiting an addictive website for more than three months, you already succeeded. 😉
