This is the best extension which remembers the tab history...But dear developer please consider displaying more than 100 tabs...For example if you see this extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recent-history/plnccbbnakgimmdicoihpmdfekcjbbcj) it displays almost more than 4 days tab history immediately on the first install... If you can include that it would be great,,why limiting the tabs?

Please don't let this extension die when Manifest v3 becomes mandatory, it's fantastic and far superior to anything like it.
