About Gathering Dust

- It should take roughly 3 hours of active browser use for dust particles to start showing up (faintly at first). - To clear the particles, click on the extension popup in your browser and then the 'Clear' button. - If you need a quick way to clear the dust, you can close the tab and reopen it. (Cheater.) - You may experience some performance issues if tabs remain open for too long (so close your tabs lol). - This extension does not store any personal data.
