Check out your surfing habits with page addict

If you are interested in stats about your general surfing habits then page addict might come in handy. This firefox extension records the time that you visited a website and displays some nice graphs showing the dates, the minutes you have been on those sites and the total amount of minutes that you were using firefox on that day. That is of course not everything: You may tag a site or more than one site and check the stats of those tags as well. If you visit cnn, bbc and yahoo for work you could tag them “work” and receive the exact amount of time that you visited those sites.

The stats are displayed at the homepage of pageaddict, urls are automatically added to the list once you visited them. Tags can be applied by creating a new tag first and then applying it to one of the urls that is already displayed. You may restrict access to a certain url by selecting that option and choosing an amount of minutes that the user is allowed to visit that site. If the limit is reached the page will not load and page addict will display the message “get back to work!”.

Not really a security feature but one that could work as a reminder that you should get back to work and stop reading a certain website..

    After reading a couple of the comments on the Firefox Add-on page, I would say wait for a later version.

    Interesting idea though.

    I might try that Timetracker again. New version released on Oct 28th

    did you ever post about a site or program (bookmarklet?) that tracks websites you visit and saves them via a side panel or something? Essentially, it would be like Delicious on auto-piolot. i though i read something like that this past week
