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.

Privacy
The extension processes tab activity locally inside the browser. No browsing data is transmitted or stored on external servers.
