## Description

Tab Tosser is a Chrome extension designed to help you manage and declutter your browser by automatically closing tabs that have been ignored for a specified period. It features a gentle setup process that prevents immediate tab closure, configurable idle time settings, and vacation detection to avoid losing tabs when you're away. The extension respects pinned tabs by never closing them and only runs when the browser is idle, ensuring seamless performance. For added safety, recently closed tabs are logged within the extension settings, allowing easy recovery if needed. Built with privacy in mind, Tab Tosser stores minimal data locally without sending any information externally, keeping your browsing secure and clutter-free.
