Extension summary

Work with more focus. If you open a fourth tab, the extension automatically closes the fourth tab and notifies you with a pop-up (just press Enter to close the pop-up). Forces you to finish tasks before starting new ones.

I've used this extension for years, and I love it! It's in my browser right now. If you use this extension frequently, please leave a 5-star review.

I'm used to having atleast 40+ tabs open at any given time. But when I wanna get serious work done, this is very distracting and kills my productivity. So I searched for an extension that would let me have only a few tabs open and I'm thankful I stumbled upon this. I realize how much easily distracted I am after using this extension. Kudos to the developer for helping to stay focused.
