## Description

N-Tab is a browser extension designed to manage browser tab lifecycles by consolidating open web pages into organized, virtual sessions. It functions as a session management tool that allows users to group tabs into custom folders, recover recently closed pages, and reduce system memory usage by offloading active tabs into a centralized interface.

The extension distinguishes itself through its support for cross-device synchronization, enabling users to back up and share saved tab configurations across multiple browser instances via remote cloud storage. It also provides a declarative command system, allowing users to trigger tab organization, collection, and navigation actions directly through keyboard shortcuts and context menus without needing to interact with the main interface.

Beyond its core management capabilities, the tool maintains persistent state through local storage, ensuring that session data remains intact across browser restarts. It integrates directly into the browser environment to track tab history and provide a consistent organizational structure for research and ongoing tasks.
