Overgrown, when plants invade your abandoned tabs

This isn’t as useless as it seems. It is a visual representation of how old the tab is. And I control what “old” is. To put it another way, it helps me recognize which tabs I am using. And which I am saving for later without having to evaluate the content of the tab. One tweak… the coverage percentage can it be adjustable? Max = 100% looses all information about the pages contents, except the title. Also also… if the images can be made translucent… you can make old timey effects like yellowing and decay.

I don't think any browsers are really designed for the range of how many tabs people keep open. I also wonder what the distribution does really look like. Just on my primary profile here I felt like I was making progress trying to get it to under 2000 tabs recently. It feels like a hopeless battle though. Across multiple machines and browsers and browser profiles i'd reckon i'm stuck at like 12,000 open tabs.

Surprising there's only one comment mentioning tab unloading. I'm the kind of person who has hundreds of tabs opened (422 right now), and this tool is useless for me because at any time only ~20 of them are loaded. And I'm not going to visit a tab to see how overgrown it is, something like this would work better if it worked on tab items in the tab bar instead of the contents of the tabs themselves.

"Originally, I was thinking about blocking users from closing their overgrown tabs until they slash all plants, but I thought it would be too annoying... " I would ask that you please add this as an option :), might actually use it for that feature alone because I do accidentally close old tabs by accident without noticing that was meaning to keep open.
