  Tab Monitor: Real-Time Resource Management
  Monitor your tabs. Reclaim your RAM.
  =======================================
  
  Tab Monitor provides a granular, real-time dashboard of your browser’s performance. Instead of guessing which tab is slowing down your system, see exact RAM and CPU metrics for every open window and terminate resource-heavy processes with a single click.
  
  
  Key Features:
  -------------------------------------------
  * Real-Time Metrics: RAM and CPU usage per tab, refreshed every 3 seconds.
  * Resource Status: Instant visual feedback using Green (Healthy), Yellow (Warning), and Red (Critical) indicators.
  * Focus Mode: Whitelist specific tabs and block new distractions for a set duration.
  * Bulk Management: "Clear the Room" allows you to close all critical resource hogs simultaneously.
  * Safety Net: Automatic session saving every 5 minutes to prevent data loss during crashes.
  * Privacy-Centric: All metrics stay 100% local. No telemetry, no tracking, and no account required for core features.
  
  
  Tab Monitor PRO:
  -------------------------------------------
  * Customizable Focus Mode
  * Grid View - get an overview of your tabs in a new way
  * More back-up sessions in cause of browser crash
  * Automated Suspensions: Automatically offload inactive, high-RAM tabs after 10 minutes.
  * Leak Detection: Smart alerts for tabs with abnormally fast memory growth.
  * The Parking Lot: Temporarily hibernate tabs and restore them later with full context with reminders if needed.
  * Custom Thresholds: Set domain-specific limits for "Critical" status alerts.
  * Advanced Analytics: Trend tracking and memory peak breakdowns by domain.
