## Description

Unload Tab from Context Menu is a handy Chrome extension that adds an "Unload Tab" option to the right-click menu on browser tabs. This feature allows users to free up system resources by unloading inactive or unnecessary tabs with a simple right-click, helping to optimize browser performance and reduce memory usage.

The extension disables the unload option for tabs that are already unloaded, preventing redundant actions. It also hides the context menu option for special pages like 'about:*' which cannot be unloaded. Perfect for users who want a quick and OCD-satisfying way to manage their browser tabs and maintain system efficiency.
