Technical Details
A lightweight browser tab garbage collector for Firefox and Zen Browser that intelligently unloads inactive tabs to reduce memory consumption.
Unlike simple timer-based tab discarders, Sweep uses a recency + frequency weighted scoring algorithm (`score = recencyWeight × recencyNorm + frequencyWeight × frequencyNorm`) to distinguish between cold tabs and active workflows.
Key Features:
- Unified scoring algorithm balancing access recency and frequency
- Protection rules for pinned, audible, active, and whitelisted tabs
- Minimal settings dashboard built with Svelte 5
- Automatic background sweep alarms and manual trigger support
- Native dark mode integration
