prune Extension

prune can help you manage your tab growth by:

- Preventing you from opening duplicate tabs (focusing ones you already have open instead!)
- Hiding or removing old tabs (you decide how old is too old!)
- Setting a limit on the number of tabs you have open (pick what works best for you!)
- ...and more!

This project is free, open-source, and can be found at https://github.com/tbrockman/prune
