## Description

<strong>Tab Context helps you remember when and why you opened a tab.</strong>

Ever find yourself looking at a tab and wondering, “Why did I open this?”

Tab Context records the date and time when each tab was opened, along with the page it was opened from. Click the toolbar button to quickly view this information for the current tab.

If the original tab is still open and has not navigated to another page, Tab Context can take you back to it. Otherwise, you can open the original page again in a new tab.
