• Customizable Rules: Use regular expressions (including capture groups) for advanced pattern matching or simple substring searches for basic matches.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Detect and apply rules to new tabs, changed URLs, or updated titles.
• Pattern Management: Add, delete, update, and reorder patterns to prioritize specific rules.
• Import/Export Support: Easily back up or share your custom patterns.
• Flexible Options: Open the options page in a separate tab for a better overview of your rules.
• Tab Management: Optionally load discard tabs and re-discard after editing rules.

Limitations

• Does not work on browser-internal pages like about:addons or about:debugging.
• Requires host permissions for certain pages like reader view, view-source, and PDF viewer.
• Cannot update titles for discarded tabs until they are loaded.
• Redirecting sites (e.g., login pages) may cause rules to apply inconsistently.
