Jeremiah Lee on his tool for torching browser tabs.
Tell us what Tab Tosser does.
Tab Tosser is a Firefox extension that automatically closes browser tabs you have ignored. It tracks when browser tabs are last viewed and closes them when they have not been revisited for 1–90 days, based on your preference. If you go on vacation, Tab Tosser detects you have been away and pauses for a few days while you catch up. It also keeps a backup log of recently tossed tabs just in case.
Why did you create it?
A while ago, I reset Safari on my MacBook Pro while debugging a web app, unaware that doing so would clear the tabs and browsing history on my iPhone. After a panic, I took a few deep breaths and reconsidered if I had truly lost anything. I hadn’t. I could just search and find any website I had open.
