Firefox Time Tracker - Monitor Your Online Time
Monitoring Your Online Time with Firefox
Many individuals establish New Year's resolutions, and it's reasonable to question how many commit to reducing unproductive internet browsing. If this is a goal for you, a straightforward method for monitoring your online activity is available.
The TimeTracker extension for Firefox provides a simple means of tracking the duration of your browser usage. The timer functions solely while you are actively browsing, and it allows for the exclusion of work-related websites from its calculations.
Installing and Accessing TimeTracker
Following installation, a small timer will appear in the bottom right corner of your browser window. A right-click on this timer reveals a menu, offering options to reset the timer or access the extension's settings.
Configuring TimeTracker Options
Within the options page, you can select whether to track time on a daily basis or cumulatively. A crucial setting to adjust is disabling the seconds timer to prevent constant, potentially distracting updates.
Excluding Sites from Tracking
The "Do not track filter" feature allows you to input a list of space-separated websites that will be excluded from time tracking. This is particularly useful for incorporating work applications or productivity tools, such as to-do list applications.
It can be surprising to discover the substantial amount of time spent online. Consider downloading TimeTracker from Mozilla Add-ons to gain insight into your browsing habits.
