Close Tabs Inactive For More Than An Hour
-
Rational: Often times my tabs tend to accumulate over the course of the day. I have really bad tab hygiene. It would be really useful to have a menu option that allows to close out all the tabs you haven't touched in a while, that have been inactive for a certain period of time.
You click (Close Stale Tabs) and then you drag a slider to select how old the tabs are you want to delete, could be a number of minutes, hours or days. The tabs can change color depending on if they have been selected for closure or not. Then press (OK) to confirm closure.
A feature inverse of this could be to delete only new tabs.

Vivaldi has a way of hibernating tabs, so any that are not in used "go to sleep". You can then identify them by a dim colour if you turn that setting on.
It's not quite what you're asking, but does that help in the meantime.?

I'm looking to remove old tabs from the tab bar, not for them to go into hibernation. Thanks for your help though!

That is IMHO a terrible, terrible idea. A browser shouldn't ever do that without user action.

Not a good idea for me either.
I am often researching all day with dozens of Tabs (sometimes I remember to "Hibernate"some of them).
For Tabs to close on me without notice would be disastrous.
This is something, if implemented,- it would have to be a toggle with Default = Disabled in the Settings page or
- preferably hidden in Flags and default setting as Disabled.
If a user needs this feature they should have to explicitly enable it.
