Default cleanup: unused tabs out of the way, then closed after 5 days

What Few does out of the box.

The steps: Unused for 3 hours → Move to Bin → In Bin for 5 days → Close.

Who it's for

  • Most people.
  • Anyone who keeps tabs open "just in case".

What happens

  1. A tab you have not used for 3 hours moves into Bin, a collapsed tab group, and is unloaded so it stops using memory.
  2. Open it and stay on it for a moment, and it comes back out.
  3. After 5 days in Bin it closes, with Undo.

Always

  • The tab you are on is never moved or closed.
  • Pinned tabs and sites you protect are never touched.
  • Tabs in groups you made yourself and tabs playing sound stay where they are.

Good to know

  • Search pages leave Bin sooner and work in progress stays longer: Few decides what each tab is on your device.

How to use it

  1. Download Default cleanup: a small workflow file.
  2. Open Few's editor (click Few in Chrome's toolbar, then Rules), choose Import and pick the file.
  3. Save. The steps replace your current workflow; your protected sites and grouping stay as they are. Every step can be changed afterwards.
