summary

A Chrome extension called Tabs.do groups open tabs into task bundles, offers drag‑and‑drop nesting, notes and color/priorities, and reopens or closes whole task contexts with one click. Grouping leverages a pre-trained neural network that runs in‑browser for privacy and suggests task titles from history. A one‑week field deployment with 10 participants shows reduced clutter, easier context switching, and continued use by 7 participants for more than two months, supporting the claim that task‑centric tab management works.
