About Dead Tab Detector

Dead Tab Detector monitors tab activity and identifies pages that remain unused for extended periods. Instead of manually sorting or closing tabs, the extension analyzes usage behavior and automatically moves inactive tabs into a searchable archive. The extension reduces browser memory usage, improves performance, and keeps the workspace organized without interrupting active browsing sessions. Archived tabs remain recoverable at any time through a built-in search interface. Core Functions • Detects tabs that remain inactive for configurable time periods • Automatically archives unused tabs instead of closing them permanently • Tracks tab activity and last-access time • Provides instant restoration of archived tabs • Displays tab memory usage to identify heavy pages • Reduces browser clutter while preserving browsing history Benefits • Prevents hundreds of forgotten tabs from slowing the browser • Maintains a clean and organized tab workspace • Preserves research sessions without manual tab management • Improves browser performance and memory efficiency Privacy The extension processes tab activity locally inside the browser. No browsing data is transmitted or stored on external servers.
