tbr Tab Budget Reminder
Escalating tab pressure

You do not need another tab.

tbr keeps the count visible, pushes back at your thresholds, and makes tab overload hard to ignore before the pile gets worse.

What it does

tbr counts your open tabs, compares that count to your warning and danger thresholds, and escalates the response as the number climbs.

  • Popup first Check the count and tune the thresholds from one place.
  • Visible warnings Badge is the default cue; page border and icon changes are optional.
  • Dedicated interruption The warning window opens when you open a new tab while already at or over the danger threshold.
