Tab Rot

About

Tab Rot — A gentle nudge to keep your browsing focused.

  Too many open tabs drain your attention, slow your browser, and clutter your mind. Tab Rot fights back with a simple but effective trick: once you exceed your safe tab limit, tiny "dead pixels" begin appearing on your screen — just like a monitor slowly degrading.

  The more tabs you hoard, the more pixels appear. Close tabs, and they disappear. It's a subtle, visual reminder that tab overload has a cost — without blocking you or breaking your flow.

  Why it works:

   - Visual feedback loop — You see the clutter your tabs create, making the invisible cost tangible
   - Non-intrusive — No popups, no alerts, no blocked pages. Just a quiet signal you can't quite ignore
   - Reversible — Close your excess tabs and your screen clears up instantly
   - Randomized realism — Dead pixels appear in random colors (black, white, red, green, blue, magenta) mimicking real stuck pixels, and shuffle to new positions each browser session

  Stop hoarding tabs. Let them rot.
