   i would like a timer to only allow people to access the internet for a specified lenght of time. I would like the timer to remeber it after it shut down the browser the the other users cannot change the value. basically something that runs in the background and starts counting down from 20min once the browser is clicked. possible?

   Yeah, John is right. We need an option or command line switch to force close the browser without being asked. For me, it is a sleep timer. I watch Comcast On Demand via Internet and when you watch any show, say “Night Gallery”, the show does not stop when it is over, it just keeps playing videos all night, loud. The idea is to time it for an hour and 5 minutes or something like that and it could ask, don’t really care if it does, but then default to closing the browser anyway after so many seconds, waiting for user input. Same thing for people that walk away, if no one is watching to say “Close the browser” within 20 seconds or something, then close it anyway!

   It would be super cool if the GUI was not so “barren” and “one shot”. You set the minutes and never see it again, no way to check the timer, how much time left? Who knows, the darned thing does not make that information available.

   Look guys, this is a terrrific app and the only one available to do such a thing, ANYWHERE! Finish the job and put a little spit and polish on it, will ya? I know it is open source, don’t pay the bills by working on Browser Timer, but dammit man, if you are going to do something, do it right! If I had coding experience, I would add it myself. A default kill browser option and reopen the GUI to see the time lapsed and time remaining.

   You ask for comments and browser support, how about simple features that the program lacks? Come one, get your coding box out and finish Browser Timer.

   Oh Christ! John asked for this feature 2 years ago and you guys never responded or give a flying rat’s behind. This project is “abandonware”. Oh this bites. Gotta find a different way now.

   Anybody find a browser timer that *will* shut down the browser if no input received please email ohmster at ohmster dot com.

   I’m looking for a timer that monitors my URL and warns me when I’ve been at a particular site too long. Would be nicer if it had the option to show a bar that gradually changes color as the time remaining approaches 0. Would reset automatically whenever I change the website.

   No offense but there is no point to this if it doesn’t automatically close the browser. I could use any timer program do to the same thing and just click to close the browser when it goes off.
