TabZoo is a browser extension game where your browsing habits evolve a living digital creature — no clicking, no grinding, no servers. Just browse the web normally. TabZoo observes aggregated patterns — tab counts, session lengths, time-of-day activity — and translates them into creature mutations, biome shifts, personality traits, and mood changes. Your unique browsing chaos spawns a one-of-a-kind creature no two users will ever share. ✅ One purpose: a creature evolution game driven by your browsing behavior 🧬 Behavior-driven: 24 mutations, 17 traits, and 12 biomes shaped by your real habits 🔒 Privacy-first: all data stored locally, zero network requests, no URLs recorded Key Features (at a glance)

What TabZoo Helps You Do 🧬 Evolve a Unique Creature Your browsing patterns drive every aspect of your creature's evolution.

6 evolution stages: Egg → Hatchling → Juvenile → Adult → Elder → Ascended
24 mutations with visual effects — auras, particles, color shifts, full-form overrides
15 behavioral signals tracked: tab counts, session length, time-of-day patterns, browsing bursts
XP earned passively from browsing, quest completions, and streak bonuses

🌍 Discover Your Biome Your dominant browsing category determines your creature's habitat.

12 biomes: Silicon Cavern (tech), Market Bazaar (shopping), Ink Ocean (news), Echo Chamber (social), Dreamscape (entertainment), Library Spire (education), Nomad Plains (travel), Resonance Grove (music), Primordial Soup (mixed), Forge (work), Blossom Garden (health), Pixel Realm (gaming)
Biomes shift weekly based on browsing category distribution
Each biome has exclusive mutations and a unique visual theme
Domain categorization uses a static local map — no URL tracking

📋 Complete Quests & Build Streaks Progress passively through normal browsing — no manual actions needed.

3 daily quests: easy (15 XP), medium (30 XP), hard (60 XP)
9 quest types: open tabs, browse for time, focus on a single page, night sessions, and more
5 streak tiers with XP bonuses: Bronze → Silver (+10%) → Gold (+20%) → Platinum (+30%) → Diamond (+50%)
