This is gonna be essential for me from now on. Thank you.
Edit: If I pick a big number for time allowed, it breaks down after a while. And that feature can't be disabled. I could compromise with a reminder after a while, but not for the tab to be completely killed. :(
It also becomes very slow when opening a container, though that's not a deal breaker.
