Psychological Tab Manager Extension

Psychological Tab Manager helps you Pavlov yourself into closing old tabs more often by playing amazing sounds and voicelines upon closing a tab that has been open and unused for a long time.

It comes with an easy-to-use control panel featuring a funky, eye-catching design and options for customization, like changing the played sound and the timeout until it's triggered.

The measurement for how long a tab has been open is saved between sessions! Because tabs mainly pile up when restoring last open tabs on the next launch.
