This works amazingly well. I'm going to start using this now. I just hope I can finish writing this comment cause i've restricted my digging to only 30 minutes a day!
I already see a problem with the way this calculates time 'wasted'. It bases the amount of time wasted at any particular site by what your browser has open, EVEN IF said browser is minimized/inactive. This add-on would be much nicer if it only tabulated the time spent on any particular site when both the site is loaded AND the browser window that has that site loaded is active. As well, the page statistics should be loaded locally, not on their servers. It's a nice start but for now I'm uninstalling it.
this will never fly: addiction and denial (i.e. concealing the truth (i.e. the thousands of hours per day someone spends on YouTube because I don't have a TV):) go hand in hand.

I think it's the Internet that people are addicted to, not the browser.

Because then they couldn't copy your browsing habits onto their own databases to sell to a third party at a later date.
