If you’re anything like me, you probably find yourself surfing the web for “just 10 minutes”…except that those minutes often drag on and become hours instead. This could be a helpful download – it’s a simple program that shuts down your browser after a user-specified period of time.
LifeHacker featured this program as their Download of the Day yesterday:
Browser Timer is kind of a brute force tool for limiting your browsing time, lacking the subtlety of a tool like Gina’s Invisibility Cloak script for Greasemonkey. If you don’t need the advanced features of the Invisibility Cloak, this tool provides a very simple, zero-configuration method for limiting your browsing in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera. Browser Timer is open source, built with AutoHotkey (which warms the cockles of my heart).
I could definitely use something like this.
