PageAddict is a Firefox extension, wrote by two neuroscientists, that monitors your Internet browsing and displays a summary of the time you’ve spend time on each web site for the day and shows graph of your web surfing habits history. You can be surprised about results.
PageAddict add-on is actually Greasemonkey script and it stores all the data locally. Here is what site says about privacy:
Details of the web sites that you have visited are stored in your browser and are not sent to any external websites. PageAddict is designed such that external websites cannot access this information and does not use cookies.
If you want to focus your web browsing you can add categories for sites and restrict how much time you spend in each category in a day.

Use your web applications, like Gmail and Google Calendar, just like desktop applications.
Bubbles is simply but clever way to use web applications or sites just like desktop applications. You just add your favorite web sites in Bubbles settings and after that you can use them in their own windows and they sit in the system tray. Bubbles has some web applications pre-configured and they have some extra functionality. There are Google Calendar, Gmail, 30 Boxes, Yahoo Mail and Flickr. You can for example upload photos by dragging them into Flickr.
Some applications just work so naturally as desktop applications in Bubbles. My favorites is to use SlimTimer with Bubbles.

Automate you software installation by making software list and let the InstallPad do the work for you.
InstallPad is an easy and smart program. It is a little like apt for Windows. You just make a list of your favorite programs with InstallPad or straight in xml format and InstallPad will download and install silently the ones you choose. Yoy’ll get time for more important things.
InstallPad can resume cancelled downloads and can try to find the latest version of the programs. It is still in an early stage, but it is very promising and there are coming features.
