Tab Control

Purpose

Tab Control is a Chrome/Brave extension designed to help users efficiently manage their browser windows and tabs. It allows you to view all open windows, see the active tab in each window, and merge multiple windows into a single window seamlessly. This extension is particularly useful for users who handle numerous tabs across different windows and seek a streamlined way to organize their browsing sessions.
