We've currently use real time to decide whether to purge cookies, but it would be great to use FIrefox use-time. Notes from meeting discussion:

• What if we storage user interaction as a permission for Chrome code too. Know the last time the user interacted with the browser.
• Have a component that keeps track of last 24 hours of websites.
• 30 days in which you’ve been active -- have a permission per day for browser chrome usage, and look at the last time the storage access permission was used. Compare against how many days the browser was used.
