Hey friends! Just here to share my open-source Chrome extension that I made awhile ago to help me manage the massive number of tabs I would always have open, hopefully some of you also find it useful.

It has a few features that have helped me from having my tab garden grow too out-of-hand:

  - Focusing any existing tabs instead of opening new ones (regardless of how the link is opened)
  - Automatically moving tabs to a group called " old tabs" after I haven't looked at them in awhile
  - Mercilessly removing tabs that I haven't looked at in even longer (if you're a loose cannon you can just enable this)
  - ...and some other features I made for others but never really use personally.

For those using Firefox, sorry, it uses some features of manifest v3 (tab grouping), so it isn't currently available for you. I'm keeping an eye on it and will release something when I can.
