## Description

The extension is purposefully simple. A small, red timer is displayed constantly at the bottom right of the screen only when YouTube is open so you're reminded of how much time you've spent on that site across the day. This was inspired by feeling that I personally spend too many hours scrolling through various videos about a whole range of things. This was made in an attempt to get some of my time back.
