### Hide Tabs (Panic Button) Chrome Extension

Hide Tabs (Panic Button) is a user-friendly browser addon designed to help you quickly hide and restore all your open tabs. With just a click of the toolbar button or a convenient keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+A), you can instantly close all tabs and then restore them to their previous session when needed.

The extension provides customizable settings allowing you to control whether a blank page is shown when tabs are hidden or if a badge icon text appears. This makes it an ideal tool for privacy or managing workspace quickly without losing your tabs.
