ThreeTabs is now on the Chrome Web Store

ThreeTabs, the extension that limits you to three tabs, is now published on the Chrome Web Store. Installing it is one click, and the store keeps it up to date.
Install it
Open the ThreeTabs page on the Chrome Web Store and press Add to Chrome. Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store too. The default limit is 3, and you can change it from 1 to 50 in the settings.
What hasn't changed
It is the same extension: free, MIT-licensed, with no analytics, no tracking and no ads, and your settings stay on your device. It still asks only for the tabs, storage and alarms permissions. Store installs update themselves, so the optional daily GitHub update check isn't needed there.
If you would rather read the code first, the source is on GitHub, and the earlier post explains why a hard tab limit works better than a tab manager.
