THE MUMBER OF TABS CAN BE EXCEED If you overload clicking the chrome app to open it. It opens multiple windows which exceed the tab limit. I think if the program counts the number of tabs every period of time and closes the latest tabs if a number of tabs exceed the limit will solve the problem.

This worked a whole lot, but because of Google Chrome's group tab update, this extension implodes on itself now. I am not a coder, but a consumer, so I can't just "change the version attitude" is not something I can do easily. If you can hats off, but for any average user this is a difficult downside
