Unexpected Findings from Tracking a Month of Browsing Habits
2025-03-30
The author tracked their web activity for a month using a custom browser extension, revealing surprising results. Gmail, LinkedIn, and Feedbin consumed most of their time, while GitHub, ChatGPT, and Google Docs were also used extensively. This differs significantly from the author's perceived browsing habits (extensive Wikipedia and news reading). The author reflects on the discrepancy between self-perception and actual behavior, using this as an example to discuss blind spots in career choices and personal habits. The author also suggests improvements to Feedbin and shares their experience using a self-made Web Graph Browser.
