## Description

ActivityWatch Web Watcher Plus records the currently active browser tab and sends ActivityWatch-compatible <code>web.tab.current</code> events to an ActivityWatch server.

The extension is designed for people who want to self-host their own activity tracking workflow and choose their own server endpoint inside the extension settings.

Main features:
<ul><li>Records the active tab URL and page title</li><li>Also sends tab metadata such as audible state, incognito state, and tab count</li><li>Lets the user configure the ActivityWatch server URL from the extension settings page</li><li>Uses the standard ActivityWatch event format for compatibility with existing ActivityWatch deployments</li></ul>
This extension is intended for personal, self-hosted, or internal use with an ActivityWatch server controlled by the user. It does not require a third-party account, paid subscription, or external hardware.

Users should review their own ActivityWatch server setup and data retention practices before using the extension, especially if the configured server is remote.
