💡 HOW IT WORKS

TabyJourney maintains a chronological history of your tab activations:
- When you activate a tab, it's recorded in history
- Navigate backward/forward through this history
- Manually switching tabs clears forward history (like browsers)
- Duplicate consecutive activations are ignored


🛡️ PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS

Required permissions:
- tabs: To track tab information for navigation
- storage: To save your preferences and history locally
- <all_urls>: To enable keyboard shortcuts on all sites

Your data never leaves your device. No tracking, no analytics, no external servers.
