2024-01-06	fandoogle02	One error for when there's no loaded-tab to switch to, allow app to open 'New Tab' and switch to it as default behavior. I believe adding this functionality would really make the extension nicer. Otherwise, the function is very nice to lower browser resources, I use it often!

2023-12-08	Dark Thoughts	Works somewhat still but has increasingly issues that break the browser.
