Psychological Tab Manager

Psychological Tab Manager helps you Pavlov yourself into closing old tabs more often by playing amazing sounds and voicelines upon closing a tab that has been open and unused for a long time.

It comes with an easy-to-use control panel featuring a funky, eye-catching design and options for customization, like changing the played sound and the timeout until it's triggered.

The measurement for how long a tab has been open is saved between sessions! Because tabs mainly pile up when restoring last open tabs on the next launch.

You can select from a pre-defined list of sounds to play or even upload your own!

Installation

The Extension here only works on chromium-based browsers supporting manifest v3, but there is a Firefox port available.

Google Chrome

Web Store

Install from Chrome Web Store

Manually

  1. Download source code

Chromium

Download the .crx file from the Releases Page and drop it onto the browser or in some cases the extension page. You may need to enable "Developer Mode".

For Microsoft Edge the same procedure as a manual Google Chrome install applies:

Operra GX

I have submitted the extension to the Operra Web Store and it's pending for review, but their store seems to be unmoderated.
