Description

This extension provides a flexible way to log your browsing activity. In
particular, it allows you to track how much time you spend on websites. The
approach is minimalistic and give you direct access to the raw browsing data
that you can then analyze and aggregate to your taste.

In contrast, other extensions with the same purpose often require that you
create an account on their website and store your browsing data. Furthermore,
they only give you access to an automatically generated report with very little
control over how it is produced.

The extension notifies a callback URL by sending an HTTP POST request whenever
one the following events occur:

* a browser window is activated (gains focus)
* a tab is activated
* a webpage is loaded (when you follow a link, or navigate through your
history)
* a browser window is deactivated (loses focus)

The body of the POST request is a JSON object containing the following keys:

* ``title`` Title of the webpage (typically the content of the ``<title>`` tag)
* ``url`` URL of the webpage
* ``time`` Time at which the event occurred. Number of milliseconds elapsed since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC
* ``key`` A key identifying the browser sending the request
* ``favicon`` The URL of the webpage's favicon (or ``null`` when there is no favicon)

For window deactivation events, all the keys except for the ``time`` key are
set to ``null``.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
