Simple tool to sleep and wake tab sessions in the browser.
This is aimed at helping the case where you have several distinct 'sessions' that you browse in (e.g. "fixing my car", "webcomics") at different times, but which don't warrant a separate Chrome user profile and don't need to be open all of the time.
Note: These slept tabs do not sync between your machines.
- Re-ordering groups
- Synchronisation between machines

The manifest is constructed as part of the build process, so you'll need to link it to the repository root in order to load the extension:
$ ln -s ./build/platform/chrome/manifest.json ./manifest.json
Then load the extension as normal.

Then load the extension as normal.
Note: if you have recently built the extension in release/production mode,
rebuild it in development mode (npm run build) otherwise you will load a
temporary extension with the same ID as the production one, and risk data loss.
