The LeechBlock Firefox extension lets you block specific websites after a predefined time etc. Is there a similar extension for Google Chrome?

There's StayFocusd, which limits the amount of time you can spend on time wasting websites per day.

@Aliza, I faced the same issue with StayFocusd and hence I developed my own extension which can take different times for different urls (more closer to leechblock). You can find Chrome Nanny at https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gpdgmmdbbbchchonpfanphofpplhmcmn

Chrome Nanny seems much closer to LeechBlock. Now, if only it had the option to block a site during a time period after a certain amount of time has elapsed. For example, let me look at Google Reader for 30 minutes during the work day, then block the site for the rest of the work day. – Pridkett Oct 11 '10 at 13:56

I couldn't really figure out how to use Chrome Nanny effectively. I still think Leechblock is a good add-on, and a replacement for it would need to have the ability to block a web site for a certain number of minutes in each hour.
