## Description

Tabs states is a chrome and firefox extension that allows you to stay organized and boost productivty. It is simple and easy to use, but has a variety of features to help declutter your browser. Additionally, there are NO unnecessary AI features or acount logins.

This is a personal project, with an intent to make a user friendly tab manager. Many tab managers can feel over-engineered or require account log-in, which can be distracting.

Allows for a variety of ways to sort and organize your tabs. The following features allow you to stay organized:
* sort tabs by most/least recently used, or alphbetically
* group tabs alphebetically or by site name
* expand and collapse tab groups
* Close inactive tabs
* Restoring old tabs and previous browser windows
* Create tab states to store and access your favorite tabs quickly
