Tab Wrangler is an open-source Chrome extension that automatically closes tabs you haven't used after a configurable time period, storing them in a 'Tab Corral' for easy recovery. It protects pinned tabs, tabs playing audio, and whitelisted domains from auto-closing. For users who accumulate dozens of tabs without realizing it, Tab Wrangler enforces discipline automatically â€” your browser stays fast without manual cleanup.
