Hide Tabs (Panic Button) Extension

Hide Tabs (Panic Button) is an extension that lets you easily hide and restore all tabs.

To hide (close) all tabs, please press on the toolbar icon once. Next time when you click on the toolbar button again, all hidden tabs are restored to the previous session. Please note that this addon does not have any settings or options to adjust. Instead of the toolbar button, you can use the keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+A) to hide and restore tabs.

To report bugs, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/hide-tabs.html).

Jagan Pandurangan (ID: 000000fb9da8d43b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/29/2024 1. After hiding all the tabs it opens a web page saying that I hid few tabs letting its user get caught by screaming "This guy has hidden some tabs" 2. If I accidentally close the window, the tabs that are hidden are lost. Not able to restore them.
