Task-focused browser tabs Extension

Save all currently opened tabs and attach them to a task. Keep all tasks and their tabs synchronized between browsers.

Do you always end up with 30+ tabs open in your browser? Do some of your routine task require a handful of web pages at the same time? Did you ever dream of being able to \"git stash\" your browsing session when interrupted? Well, I did. So, I made this little extension.

Click on extension button to jump to its tasks-list tab in current window. All tasks will store the URLs of all tabs in the same window. Simply double-click a task to activate or de-activate it. This will close all tabs when deactivated and bring back all pages when activated again. Please note that only the URL is stored, not page content, you might have to log-in or fill forms again.

This extension uses google chrome sync to store data. This means that when chrome is connected to a google account, it will sync data across all your chrome installs. The downside is that this is stored online somewhere at google. As google documentation states \"Confidential user information should not be stored! The storage area isn't encrypted.\". You've been warned. However, please note that only URLs of tabs associated with a task is stored.

Also, please note that I, extension developer, cannot access your data in any way, even less provide it to any third-party. Your data is yours.
