To install and test the extension: 1. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/` 2. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right 3. Click "Load unpacked" and select your extension directory 4. The extension icon should appear in your browser toolbar Features of this extension: - Tracks time spent on different websites - Shows statistics in hours and minutes - Persists data between browser sessions - Updates every minute - Allows resetting of statistics - Tracks across tab changes and URL changes - Sorts websites by time spent Notes: - The extension uses Chrome's Storage API to persist data - It tracks active tab time only - Time tracking continues even when the popup is closed - The extension icon should be created in multiple sizes (16x16, 48x48, 128x128) To improve this extension, you could: - Add daily/weekly/monthly views - Create detailed analytics and graphs - Add website categories - Set time limits and alerts - Export data functionality - Add idle detection - Implement better data storage management Remember to create appropriate icons for your extension and place them in the icons folder before loading the extension.

## 7. Add Icons Create three icon files in the `icons` folder: - icon16.png (16x16 pixels) - icon48.png (48x48 pixels) - icon128.png (128x128 pixels) You can create these icons using any image editor or download free icons. ## 8. Install the Extension 1. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/` 2. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right 3. Click "Load unpacked" 4. Select your extension directory ## Features This extension will: - Track time spent on each website - Display time in hours, minutes, and seconds - Continue tracking even when the popup is closed - Persist data between browser sessions - Allow resetting of statistics - Sort websites by time spent - Update in real-time when switching tabs ## Additional Improvements You Could Make 1. Add daily/weekly/monthly statistics 2. Implement website categories 3. Add data export functionality 4. Create graphs and visualizations 5. Add site blocking after certain time limits 6. Implement idle detection 7. Add notifications for time limits 8. Create a dashboard page for more detailed statistics Remember to handle edge cases like: - Private browsing - Multiple windows - Browser restart - System sleep - Network errors This is a basic implementation that you can build upon based on your specific needs.

To install and use the extension: 1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/ 2. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right 3. Click "Load unpacked" and select your extension directory 4. The extension icon will appear in your toolbar 5. Click the icon to see time spent on different websites 6. Use the "Reset Statistics" button to clear the data Features of this extension: - Tracks time spent on websites by domain - Updates in real-time - Persists data between browser sessions - Shows time in hours, minutes, and seconds - Sorts websites by most time spent - Allows resetting statistics - Works with multiple windows and tabs Limitations: - Only tracks active tab time - Doesn't track time when browser is closed - Doesn't differentiate between different pages on the same domain To improve the extension, you could: - Add daily/weekly/monthly statistics - Create detailed reports - Add time limits and alerts - Export data to CSV - Add categories for websites - Track inactive tab time differently - Add data visualization charts Remember to create appropriate icons for your extension and place them in the icons folder.

### 7. Install the Extension 1. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/` 2. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right 3. Click "Load unpacked" and select your extension directory ### Features of this Extension: - Tracks time spent on each website - Updates in real-time - Displays time in hours, minutes, and seconds - Persists data between browser sessions - Allows resetting statistics - Sorts websites by time spent - Works with multiple windows and tabs ### Limitations and Possible Improvements: 1. Add daily/weekly/monthly statistics 2. Add website categories 3. Set time limits for specific websites 4. Export data functionality 5. Better data visualization (charts, graphs) 6. Idle time detection 7. Website blocking after time limits 8. Custom site grouping ### Notes: - The extension uses Chrome's Storage API to persist data - It tracks active tab time only - The time tracking continues until the tab is closed or switched - Data is saved every second to prevent data loss - The popup shows a sorted list of websites by time spent To improve accuracy, you might want to add idle detection and more sophisticated time tracking logic based on your specific needs.

To install and test the extension: 1. Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/` 2. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right 3. Click "Load unpacked" and select your extension directory 4. The extension icon should appear in your browser toolbar The extension will now: - Track time spent on each website - Store data locally using Chrome's storage API - Display statistics in a popup when clicking the extension icon - Allow resetting statistics - Continue tracking even when the popup is closed Additional features you could add: - Daily/weekly/monthly statistics - Data export functionality - Custom site categories - Time limits and alerts - Graphs and visualizations - Idle time detection - Website blocking after time limits - More detailed statistics Remember to: - Create appropriate icons for your extension - Test thoroughly across different scenarios - Handle edge cases (like private browsing) - Consider performance implications - Follow Chrome's security best practices
