I often end up with a window (or many windows) full of tabs with articles or videos about some subject I want to study. Usually I just save a session, but then I forget about it and lose reference to all those videos and articles. That's why I created this extension: As a way to save all those tabs in a text file so I can go back to them later.
Unless you click on it, this extension won't do anything, and it does not collect any data whatsoever. This is free and open source software, so feel free to check the code and make sure it's safe.
