Extension summary

Have you ever wondered how much time you are spending on certain unnamed social media sites? This extension will let you know, showing a pie chart of your browser usage today, yesterday, last week, etc.

It works by tracking which browser tab is currently focused, or optionally, which tab(s) are visible (open and not minimized). It also will report time the browser is open but not focused. (Like if you're using another program altogether.)

This plugin never sends data anywhere. Everything stays local on your computer. You can inspect the source code here: https://github.com/djacobow/whttg
