Working on a browser extension idea for myself

tab limiting, but not (just) by count, but count by URL

@pixel No idea how I would use it but I love the idea!

I think it would be great if a dialogue would be shown if you hit the limit.

Content could be:
- Show all tabs by title, when I click one the new tab closes and I move to the clicked tab
- A button to close all existing tabs of the page and start over with the new tab you just opened
- A "Fuck it, I'm done" button that just closes all the tabs and starts with a fresh one (with the option to "block" the URL for X amount of time)

@kaiserkiwi it mainly stems from the point that I use a (specific) site wrongly if I have multiple tabs open of it.

For example, the Mastodon frontend of my instance.

Sure, I might open a post in a new tab once but if I just keep it open I get double notification sounds etc.

@pixel After I wrote my list of ideas I saw this extension in my daily life. I have so many tabs open when I work that I already opened in another window. It would be great if I get a reminder instead of opening the same instance of Linear the fourteenth time.

@kaiserkiwi Hmm, I'm not sure how nice interaction popups are in tab opening workflows, my idea for now is defining global/per-domain LIFO or FIFO for tabs.

so, you are either blocked from opening a new tab, or the old ones slowly clean themselves up.

@pixel Will it be open source? Then I could just make a fork (or pull request, if you want this as an optional feature) and implement it, when your idea is finished.

I'd rather have an info why something happens and an action interface than just let something happen I might not notice.
