  "A better management tool for tab hoarders."
  
  Do you regularly open 30 or 40 tabs and forget to close them? Sick of the dense, unreadable mess of tabs shrinking at the top of your browser? **Tame Your Tabs** is designed specifically for tab hoarders. Stop guessing based on blurry tiny icons—use visual snapshots and a timeline to instantly find the exact tab you want.
  
  ✨ Core Features:
  
  1. ⏱️ Timeline Grouping:  Automatically and intelligently categorizes your open tabs by their last accessed time (e.g., Just now, 1 hour ago, Yesterday, 1 week ago). Find, manage, and close tabs with a single click based on this natural timeline.
      
  2. 🖼️ Visual Snapshots:  Say goodbye to useless, truncated titles. As you switch between webpages, the extension automatically captures a visual snapshot of the moment you left it, making it incredibly easy to spot later. (Note: For your privacy, snapshots are disabled for local files, password fields, browser settings, and incognito mode).
      
  3. 🧹 One-Click Cleanup:  Tab overload causing anxiety and memory lag? Close all stale tabs from "1 week ago" with a single click, instantly lightening the load for both your mind and your machine.
      
  4. 🔗 Native Integration:  Supports "Pin" and "Search" directly on the tab cards, bypassing the tedious clicks required by native Chrome features.
      
  5. ⌨️ Global Shortcut:  No matter what webpage you are browsing, simply press `Cmd + Shift + E` (Mac) or `Ctrl + Shift + E`(Windows) to instantly summon the management dashboard.
      
  
  🔒 Privacy First (Zero Data Collection): This is a **100% local** extension. All tab metadata and visual snapshots are stored securely in your device's local cache. We do not track your browsing history, there are no external servers, and your data is absolutely NEVER uploaded, shared, or transmitted.

  A better tab manager for tab hoarders.
  
  Do you often keep thirty or forty tabs open and forget to close them? Tired of your browser’s top bar being packed with tiny tabs whose titles you can’t even read?
  
  Tame Your Tabs is designed for tab hoarding. Stop guessing from blurry favicons. Use visual snapshots, timelines, and workspaces to find the tab you actually need.
  
  ✨ Core Features:
  
  1. ⏱️ Timeline Grouping  
  Automatically organizes your tabs by last visited time: just now, 1 hour ago, yesterday, 1 week ago, and more. Find, manage, and close tabs based on a clear timeline.
  
  2. 🖼️ Visual Snapshots  
  Say goodbye to useless page titles. When you switch, scroll, or browse SPA pages, the extension tries to capture what you last saw, making it easier to find pages later by visual memory.  
  For privacy, snapshots are not captured for local files, password pages, browser settings, restricted pages, or incognito mode.
  
  3. 🧹 One-Click Cleanup  
  Too many tabs causing anxiety and slowing down your computer? Close stale pages such as “1 week ago” tabs in one click, giving both your mind and your machine some breathing room. Pinned tabs are protected and will not be closed in bulk.
  
  4. 🗂️ Native Groups & Workspaces  
  Supports Chrome’s native tab groups and shows them as workspaces at the top of the dashboard. Switch between Timeline View and Tab Order View to manage tabs by time or by their real browser order.
  
  5. 📌 Drag to Pin Important Tabs  
  Drag important tabs into the pinned shelf to sync them with Chrome’s native pinned tabs. Pinned tabs are shown separately for quick access and are protected from accidental closing.
  
  6. 🔍 Search & Keyboard Shortcuts  
  Quickly search your open tabs. You can open the dashboard from any webpage with a shortcut:  
  Mac: Option + E  
  Windows / Linux: Ctrl + Shift + E
  
  🔒 Privacy First, Zero Data Collection  
  Tame Your Tabs runs 100% locally. All tab data and visual snapshots are stored in your device’s local cache. We do not collect browsing history, there is no external server, and your data is never uploaded, shared, or transmitted.
