Dead Tab Detector

#career #programming #productivity

Dead Tab Detector is a browser extension that manages tab lifecycles using behavior-based analysis to detect inactive tabs, predict potential reopens, and automatically archive unused pages instead of closing them permanently. The extension monitors tab activity and last-access time to identify pages that remain unused for extended periods, then moves them into a searchable archive while keeping them fully recoverable at any time. By organizing inactive tabs automatically, it reduces browser clutter, lowers memory usage, and improves overall performance without interrupting active browsing sessions. It also provides visibility into tab memory usage to help identify resource-heavy pages. All tab activity analysis is performed locally within the browser, ensuring that browsing data remains private and is never transmitted or stored on external servers.
