About

Take control of your media playback with SleepyTab!
SleepyTab automatically manages your video and audio tabs, ensuring you never miss a moment or get blasted by sudden noise.

This extension is a "Media Controller" that automatically pauses/resumes videos. It is NOT a "Tab Suspender" designed to free up memory by discarding tabs.

🎬 Core Features:

1. Smart Auto-Pause & Resume
- Automatically pauses videos when you switch to another tab or minimize the window.
- Instantly resumes playback when you return to the tab.
- Works with YouTube, Twitch, Netflix, and many other HTML5 media sites.

2. Mute-Only Mode
- Prefer not to stop the video? You can choose to "Mute Only" instead of pausing.
- Perfect for live streams or online games where you want the content to keep running silently in the background.

3. Background Playback Control
- Want to listen to music while working?
- Enable "Play while Locked/Minimized" to keep audio playing even when the screen is locked or the window is hidden.

4. Quick Tab Switching (Mouse Wheel Support)
- Navigate through your tabs effortlessly!
- Hold a custom key and scroll your mouse wheel to switch between tabs instantly.
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts are also available.

5. "DropOpen" - Background Tab Opener
- Drag and drop any link onto the page to open it in a new background tab.
- Browse efficiently without losing focus on your current page.

6. Cloud Backup
- Save your settings to Google Drive™ and sync them across multiple computers.
