Support & contributions appreciated to continue working on it but totally optional 😇

⭐ All I ask is that you please star the repo on github.com/maddada/sharptabs ⭐

Other big changes in v3
✅ Removed sharptabs.com/restore based tabs suspension to reduce required permissions, now only native tabs suspension is available.
✅ Reduced the requested permissions as much as possible to the bare minimum required.
✅ Removed all anonymous tracking for enabled settings.
✅ Made all features fully free and not require account. Only features that do require are AI based features (AI auto group, AI auto clean, AI auto group name) but you can add your own Gemini key to use these too!
