Track Time Spend on Each Website

Question

Is there a way to track how much time you spend on each website? Ideally I'd like something I could plug into my browser that would give me information that I could pass into a Ruby program. Each day it might output something like this:

http://www.google.com => 45.02 minutes
http://www.espn.com => 34.21 minutes
http://www.facebook.com => 26.35 minutes

If this doesn't exist, what would you use to build this?

Answer 1

If you use Firefox you could write a greasemonkey script to do this. There's also a plugin that does this for you: https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/leechblock/

Its primary purpose is to block sites that are time wasters, but it also can track the time you spend on a site or block of sites.

If you use Chrome this time tracker seems to do what you want: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/timestats/ejifodhjoeeenihgfpjijjmpomaphmah?hl=en
