Webometer lets you limit your access to distracting websites. You can specify how long you wish to browse a website, and how long it should be blocked after each visit. This application contains a Safari extension, so the functionality will not work with other browsers. You will need to enable the extension, as well as give it access to every website you wish to limit.

Have you ever clicked on a link and had it open a new tab? This is often caused by links using the 'target=_blank' attribute. Death To _blank fixes this problem by removing the '_blank' attribute from links, meaning that most links will open in the current tab. This extension is a port of 'Death To _blank' for Chrome, and has been developed in collaboration with its author. 'Death To _blank' also removes a few other 'target' values that can cause links to open in new pages (e.g. "blank" and "new").
