The trouble about doing it for one browser is that your other browsers quickly come into use.
One system wide fix is to edit your hosts file: http://thingsilearned.com/2007/05/04/combating-internet-addiction/ http://thingsilearned.com/2007/05/04/combating-internet-addi...
but it only blocks you from sites instead of giving you nice time limits. And it becomes too easy to change back.
I wish there was something that offered the limit functionality but for all browsers/access but currently i know of nothing.
RescueTime (YC W08)'s Get Focused app is the best implementation of this I've seen.
