TabZolo

The focus and actually get stuff done online extension.
What is TabZolo?
TabZolo is a Google Chrome extension created to promote focused and productive online activity by restricting users to a single tab. It helps avoid the accumulation of unnecessary 'read later' tabs. In 'ON' mode, TabZolo restricts usage to one tab at a time, thus deliberately aiding focus and task completion. The 'OFF' mode reverts Chrome back to its multi-tab functionality, and the stored away tabs are also restored. It is a tool, aiming to assist users in methodically tackling their web tasks, one tab at a time.

Extension summary

With TabZolo you can stand a chance against your multi-tab overload. If you're tired of bombarding yourself with useless "read later" tabs that are too easy to accumulate then TabZolo may be the right cure for you. It's built with a simple philosophy: commit to finishing what you start online before starting other things.

Toggling TabZolo ON puts a lockdown on Google Chrome that focuses your attention on one single tab in one single window at any given time while you're in your browser. That is it. No more. No less.

When you toggle TabZolo OFF, Google Chrome is unshackled revitalizing it back to its fully functional, multi-tab/window-capable glorious self and restores your pre-existing tabs that were stored away to help you focus on TabZolo (if applicable).

We hope you like our efforts on helping you actually tackle your Internet tasks one tab at a time.
