    🔒 Smart Tab Blocker: Take Intelligent Control of Your Browsing!
    Tired of unwanted pop-ups, intrusive ads, and unexpected new tabs disrupting your online experience? Smart Tab Blocker empowers you with intelligent, user-driven control to keep your browsing clean, focused, and frustration-free.
    
    Unlike simple blockers, Smart Tab Blocker learns from your preferences, giving you the power to decide exactly what gets blocked and what gets through.
    
    Why Smart Tab Blocker?
    You're in Control: No more blindly closing tabs. You decide which domains are blocked, ensuring legitimate sites are never accidentally shut down.
    
    Learns from You: Easily add domains to your blocklist with a click, a right-click, or a quick keyboard shortcut. The extension remembers your choices.
    
    Flexible Protection: Choose between a standard blocklist mode, or activate "Whitelist Only Mode" for ultimate focus – instantly closing any tab not on your approved list.
    
    Seamless Experience: Designed to integrate smoothly into your Chrome workflow, providing powerful protection without getting in your way.
    
    Key Features:
    Intelligent Tab Monitoring: Automatically detects and manages newly opened tabs.
    
    Customizable Blocklist: Add unwanted domains (ads, spam, pop-ups) to your personal blocklist. Future tabs from these domains are automatically closed.
    
    Powerful Whitelist: Create a list of trusted websites. In "Whitelist Only Mode," only these sites are permitted to open, providing a highly secure and focused browsing environment.
    
    Intuitive Popup Interface:
    
    See the current tab's domain.
    
    View recently opened domains.
    
    Manage your blocked and whitelisted domains with easy add/remove buttons.
    
    Toggle "Whitelist Only Mode" on or off with a simple switch.
    
    Convenient Keyboard Shortcuts:
    
    Block & Close Tab: Quickly add the current tab's domain to the blocklist and close it (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X).
    
    Whitelist Current Tab: Instantly add the current tab's domain to your whitelist (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+Y / Cmd+Shift+Y).
    
    Unblock & Reopen Last Closed Tab: Accidentally blocked something? Bring back the last closed tab and remove its domain from the blocklist (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z).
    
    Toggle Whitelist Only Mode: Rapidly switch between blocking modes (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+W / Cmd+Shift+W).
    
    Context Menu Integration: Right-click on any webpage to quickly "Block Domain of This Tab and Close" or "Whitelist Domain of This Tab."
    
    Permanent Storage: Your blocklist, whitelist, and mode preferences are securely stored using Chrome's local storage.
