UCL Study Zeitgeist Plugin Extension

This extension logs data about your Web browsing activity into the Zeitgeist daemon. It logs which websites you visit, which tabs you interact with and how long you interact with them, and which files you download.

The extension works in conjunction with a native messaging host that relays logged events to the Zeitgeist daemon. The events contain a unique signature for the UCL multitasking study, and are not suitable for use with the vanilla Zeitgeist Activity Journal.

See https://study.cs.ucl.ac.uk/multitasking/web/information for more information.
