About

Tab Focus allows you to maintain your train of thought by instantly bringing every newly created tab to the foreground. 

Standard browser behavior often opens tabs in the background (e.g., when middle-clicking), which can lead to a buildup of unchecked pages and broken context. Tab Focus overrides this, ensuring that whenever a tab is opened, it immediately becomes the active tab.

Features:
- Instant Focus: New tabs are immediately activated.
- Zero Configuration: Works out of the box with no complex settings.
- Efficient: Built with Manifest V3 and event-driven logic for zero memory usage when idle.
- Smart Restore: Intelligently skips focusing tabs during browser session restoration to prevent chaotic window switching.

Privacy Policy:
This extension runs entirely on your device. It does not collect, store, or transmit any browsing data. It only requests the "tabs" permission strictly to perform its core function of switching the active tab.
