I rely on the browser's window.focused to determine whether the user is idle or not. But this has one major flaw; if a user has the browser focused and goes idle it'll keep counting. This is an inaccuracy that could be mitigated using a content script that registers a global event listener for any user action, and based on a specific timeout, communicate the user's idle state to the background process.

This will probably require a change in addon permissions.
