What is BrainyTab?

BrainyTab is a Chrome extension that not only helps in organizing and managing your bookmarks in a proficient manner but also aims to amplify your decision-making abilities. Each time a new tab is opened, you are exposed to mental models and underlying cognitive biases, enabling you to recognize and potentially rectify these biases within yourself. BrainyTab essentially turns your browser into a learning platform, improving your cognitive abilities while you surf the web.

Hoping you can add a feature to save concepts to later review and ability to search them. It's always sad when you find a useful concept but you mistakenly close it, please add search function or a way to browse them.

It's great. But it's slow. When I have many tabs open it takes up to 20 seconds to load the new tab, it's not my computer. I think it makes the overall browser slower.
