This extension provides the following functionalities to improve the user's tab usage:
- Keeps basic statistics about tab usage.
- Saves memory resources by suspending inactive tabs.
- Allows to close all the inactive tabs.
If the user gives consent, the extension also reports these tab usage stats to researchers for a study on Chrome user's tab usage. More precisely, the data that are being collected are:
- tabid: a number that identifies a tab within a browser session.
- event: whether the tab has been created/destroyed/updated/loaded.
- time offset: the time from the last tab event.
In any case the extension collects private information such as the URL or the content of the pages visited by the users.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
