Browser Timer for Windows

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.
