StatusFrost - Statistics on Your Browsing Extension

StatusFrost tracks your day-to-day web usage and allows you to view statistics on how you use the web. It will record personal statistics on things such as your typing speed and the pages you visit. StatusFrost will record your activity, much like many web trackers do, but instead of using that information for advertising purposes, it will simply display it to you in a concise, pleasant manner. StatusFrost is currently in the early stages of development, so here's a few things I hope to get done:
• Add more sites to category tracking list
• Add more metrics

Permissions explanation:
StatusFrost tries to use as few permissions as possible. Here are the permissions it uses and an explanation for why it uses them:
• Access to Tabs - StatusFrost needs access to these in order to gather statistics on events within the webpage
• Storage - StatusFrost use this to persist data so your statistics don't reset
