I like this feature I set timeout to 15 minutes. But I don't like grey-out tab names - it's harder to read. After awhile all my tabs become grey and unreadable so I was forced to set timeout to 1 hour. May be instead use some icon? Or make tab name background different color?

Also I don't understand why would I want to know which tabs are sleeping? Will I lose some notifications if tab is sleeping?
