## Description

**Tab Limiter** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you manage and control your browser tab usage on a per-window basis. It allows you to set a maximum number of tabs in any given window, preventing unwanted clutter and keeping your workspace organized.

When the tab limit is reached, additional tabs automatically "bounce" to a designated overflow window, ensuring your focused window remains clean. This feature is especially useful if you want a dedicated window for important sites, such as email or chat, always easily accessible without switching tabs. The extension supports seamless handling of private/incognito windows with separate overflow management.

Using Tab Limiter is simple: right-click on any page to access the context menu, set or remove tab limits, and manage your overflow windows effortlessly. Say goodbye to tab chaos and boost your productivity with Tab Limiter!
