The extension presents data in an easily understandable pie chart, tracks stats for today, daily average and all-time. It also doesn't count time spent idle for over 30 seconds and only counts time when Chrome is the active application. Furthermore, it allows sharing of these stats with friends and the ability to opt out of tracking certain sites.
