Summary

Chrome extensions to quickly kill/resurrect tabs.

"Major" Updates!

URLs are no longer replaced! This was the biggest issue.

Icon now changes to indicate state! This does not mean that any issues experienced when used with multiple windows open will go away, but it will be easier to realize when that may occur.

Open too many tabs for your computer to handle? Me too! Click the killer robot to kill all the other tabs in the current windows! Click it again to reload all the tabs, but beware, you'll lose anything that was edited or entered in a killed tab!

The tab you're on and any pinned tabs will be spared, so you can continue reading/listening/etc without missing a beat! You could potentially pin a couple of tabs you wish to spare that have contain a paused flash game or something else you'd rather not lose.

As others have said, for me this just reloads the tabs. Even a single click doesn't leave them dead.

Wish there was an option to kill all tabs in all windows, but nonetheless a great program.
