Hi! I use your little tab killer for years now and it saved me so much time ! Since latest Brave update, they changed somehow the management of the "search tabs" menu and it is using its own process now (named something like "Spare UI renderer", until it's used then its renamed "Tool: Search in tabs") But sadly this process can't be differenciated from a tab because it does not have nor and does have ... so it's killed with other tabs. This is quite bad because then if you click on the said "search in tab" menu then the whole browser crashes !! I understand that it not such an issue from your tool, but instead a bad management of process identity from the brave team. I tried to open an issue at brave (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/47229), but a the guy just kicked me out saying "[Wont fix] if you kill the process, it's normal the browser crashes" 🤦🏻♂️🙄 Instead of understanding the process identification problem... Because I'm a nobody, he thought that I'm just stupid... Maybe you, @sindresorhus , who are quite somebody in dev community, you may be heard if you post an issue there reporting the problem? 🙏
Figure out what the process name for tabs is on OS X, Linux and Windows and implement it here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/kill-tabs/commit/cb627bc2e9ca6bf236b12b85a81ed5dee266c2c9#diff-168726dbe96b3ce427e7fedce31bb0bcR5 and here https://github.com/sindresorhus/kill-tabs/commit/cb627bc2e9ca6bf236b12b85a81ed5dee266c2c9#diff-168726dbe96b3ce427e7fedce31bb0bcR30
