Excellent for adhd, its not gonna make u more productive directly. But it "contains" your ADHD by limiting and stopping u from opening 30 tabs as i normally do

Can't it be updated for the changes thing?

Thank you for making and keeping up this wonderful extension so far. It's been extremely useful and I've been able to stay within a manageable number of open tabs for a while thanks to it! I would truly hate to see it go because of Chrome's recent changes. But whatever happens, thank you so much up until now!
