Tab Control Extension

Tab Control allows you to keep a limit on the number of tabs you have per window. Once you attempt to surpass the limit, Tab Control will remove your least active tab and save it internally just incase you need it in the future.

You can also choose to purge your window's tabs if you ever feel like your tabs are getting messy. Purge all tabs, duplicate tabs, or inactive tabs.

For the best experience, restart Chrome after first-time installation!

Note: Tab Control requires access to your browser history in order to save recently removed tabs and assign a timestamp to each tab. Your recently removed history is never saved other than on your own account.
