Tidy Tabs Extension

Tidy Tabs is a browser extension that keeps your tabs tidy.
It allows you to automatically sort tabs based on their hostnames as follows:

- It compares components (top-level domain, second-level domain, etc.) lexicographically.
(e.g. com is smaller than org, example1 is smaller than example2)

- It compares hostnames reverse lexicographically.
(e.g. example1.com is smaller than example2.org because com is smaller than org)

- If one hostname contains another, the shorter one is smaller.
(e.g. example2.org is smaller than www.example2.org because example2.org is shorter than www.example2.org)
