About TabBouncer
TabBouncer is a Chrome utility that runs in a dedicated browser window and closes automatically opened advertising tabs and popups while keeping tabs the user intentionally opened. It monitors the browser through the Chrome DevTools Protocol and compares new tabs with the link the user clicked. When a page script redirects the current tab to another site, TabBouncer can return the browser to the current page. This helps preserve the intended browsing flow when websites open side-effect tabs or redirect unexpectedly. The tool is designed for a dedicated Chrome window rather than all browser windows. The supplied information describes how it distinguishes clicked links from automatically opened tabs but does not specify handling for every popup or redirect pattern.
