TabZolo: The Single-Tab Focus Chrome Extension

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.
