BRO WE NEED OPTIONS. let me change it to 12 hours or 30 min when i want my pages auto saved. also make an option to auto save and close, or keep open. also divisions for youtube tabs versus other kinds of tabs.

With the new features that let you delete archived tabs it's already much better and helps me enormously. The app is constantly evolving so I will keep using it.

I would love to leave it on, but the extension has no configuration (or at least I haven't found it), and the app will remove any tab that was opened for more than 24h, even if the tab is pinned. If it had some kind of configuration, or it didn't close pinned tabs I would use it, otherwise it disturbs my workflow too much. Another small issue, is that the only way to remove archived tabs is to open them, and close them manually. I think there should be some kind of close button next to the archived to tab to remove it directly. Also, the only button to send feedback redirects to a deleted GitHub project (404).
