## Description

**Brightness Slider Per Tab** is a lightweight Chrome extension that enables users to adjust the brightness level of individual browser tabs via an easy-to-use slider popup. It requires minimal permissions and avoids background scripts, ensuring low resource consumption. Users can quickly apply brightness changes by clicking the extension icon or activating a configurable keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+L), enhancing productivity without slowing down your browser.

Although brightness settings reset on page reload or navigation, they can be reapplied instantly through the slider or shortcut. For those needing permanent brightness adjustments, additional options are available through custom CSS configurations. This extension offers a straightforward and efficient way to control screen brightness on a per-tab basis without compromising browser performance.
