  Time Waste Watcher helps you spend less time on distracting websites by letting you set daily and hourly limits for the sites you want to manage.
  
  You can use the built-in default list or add your own websites. While browsing a tracked site, the extension shows a live countdown so you can see how much time remains. When a limit is reached, the site is blocked until you complete the reset challenge.
  
  Features
  
  - **Daily & hourly limits** — Set per-site caps in minutes for both daily and hourly usage.
  - **Countdown timers** — See how much time you have left directly on tracked sites.
  - **Automatic blocking** — Sites are blocked once your configured limit is reached.
  - **Pause timers** — Temporarily pause countdown timers when needed.
  - **Custom sites** — Add any website beyond the built-in social media defaults.
  - **Local-only storage** — All data stays on your device. Nothing is sent externally.

  You can use the built-in default list or add your own websites. While browsing a tracked site, the extension shows a live countdown so you can see how much time remains. When a limit is reached, the site is blocked until the day (midnight) or hour of day changes OR you complete the reset challenge (because sometimes you need to actually use the website that you were wasting time on!)
