Extension summary

A super simple extension that will simply close the current tab after a specified length of time.

I mainly created this for situations where you're watching something online and you may fall asleep but don't want the video to play for so long/ all night.

It's great for Twitch VODs, for example if I'm watching an 8 hour vod and i'm worried i might fall asleep in the next 30 minutes. Then I can set the timer and if I do fall asleep then the tab will automatically close, so when I wake up I can open it back up from my history and it won't continue playing so far through.

Can be great for saving your laptops battery life as well. As closing the video tab should hopefully activate the laptops automatic sleep schedule which before wouldn't be actived as a video would be playing.
