## Description

Sort Tabs Advanced is a powerful web extension designed to help users organize their browser tabs efficiently. It allows sorting tabs based on multiple criteria including URL, domain, title, and last time of access. Particularly useful for Firefox Quantum users, it addresses the lack of domain sorting capabilities, making tab management smoother.

By sorting tabs according to recent access, users can prioritize frequently used tabs by pushing them to the top, while less used tabs remain accessible but out of the way. The extension continuously evolves with plans to improve its user interface, icon design, and overall performance, offering a better browsing experience.
