There is one called OpTimer that logs the time you spent on various sites in Opera and displays a list of sites you spend the most time on. Opera is new to the extension business so there aren’t many options at this moment. You can create another block set containing another bunch of time-consuming sites and block them for a different time period. In LeechBlock you can create up to six ‘block sets’ each set containing a number of sites that are to be blocked during a specific time interval.įor example, you can create a block set and put all the social networking sites in it and block all those sites together for a set period of time. To block distracting websites, you can also install a dedicated Firefox addon called LeechBlock. You can also choose to ignore a site from your report if you want. The PageAddict addon, aside from tracking and displaying statistics about your online habits, allows you to tag and identify a certain group of websites and then put time restrictions on them. RescueTime, I have already described in the previous section on Chrome. If you happen to use an older version of Firefox you can checkout any of these two. RescueTime is definitely an active program but somehow they are completely ignoring the newer versions of Firefox. The PageAddict project is essentially dead – the developer website is parked and the extension has not been updated since March 2007. ![]() There are at least two usable time tracking extensions for Firefox – RescueTime and PageAddict– none of which supports Firefox 4, unfortunately. It is highly configurable, allowing you to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, specific paths, or even specific pages. Once your allotted time for the day has been used up, the sites you have blocked will be inaccessible for the rest of the day. StayFocusd is a Chrome extension that helps you focus on your work by restricting the amount of time you can spend browsing time-wasting websites. Once you have identified the time wasters, you should restrict the time you spent on them. RescueTime also calculates a productivity score for you and lets you compare data with other users across the world. It also allows you to manually stop measuring via a “pause” button. It automatically stops the timer if your mouse and keyboard aren’t used for 2 minutes or more. You can check out detailed browsing stats to see how much time you spend on individual web sites, which days your most productive on, and more. ![]() This tool sits in the background and measures which site is in focus and for how long. If you are looking for something more than a simple timer, you can check out RescueTime.
