Tab Control Extension

Tab Control - The holly Grail of Tab Managers

I am a heavy tabs producer and I don't have the self discipline to close them. This behavior causes me huge problems like no ability to search and navigate between tabs, Chrome memory consumption raises and many other productivity issues.
Over the years I've tried almost any tab extension out there, just name it - I tried it. Almost any extension had a feature I like but there is no extension where I can get all the benefits I am looking for. Therefore I decided to create the holly grail of Tab Managers.
This extension is ready for use and under highly development in order to provide many useful features and tools fast.


FEATURES

Available features:
- Search tabs everywhere, easily and without loosing focus (set keys on settings)
- Easy navigation between recently used tabs (set keys on settings)
- Tagging (tagging rules and tab filtering by tags)
- Hide tabs
- Measure page visits duration
- Get an overview on opened windows and tabs

Some of the upcoming features:
- Sync tabs between devices and the cloud
- Bulk operations (close, move, ...)
- Aggregations and grouping
- Manage workspaces
- Clutter reducing tools
- Configurations that will help you keep your chrome usage optimal
- Tabs insights
- Share abilities
and many other productivity features.

If you have any request, issue or just want to share your opinion, please contact us.


USAGE

- Click on Tab Control icon to go to the dashboard
- Under settings / keyboard shortcuts you will see all the app shortcuts
- You can change any shortcut


PRIVACY

Đorđe Jović (ID: 000000938352529e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/27/2022 No drag and drop option for tabs between the windows. It doesn't even exist for inside one window... Don't download this if you're working with many browser windows with many open tabs..

Azam Akbarov (ID: 0000001d1ce8acea) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/26/2022 Was doughting it was something useful. But it instantly upon installation PROOVED PRACTICAL and that all the simple functions I'm grateful for So THANK YOU. Now Chrome finally started to feel like a tidy desktop.

Extra Google Account (ID: 00000091058c198c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/29/2022 Is this on Github? I'd like to follow development if possible. Seems like you are actively developing! I've long used Session Buddy but development has been dead for a while. I have to export my sessions to Devonthink to sort, search, and manage them. SB allows you to search, but the sessions are just in one huge list and there is no tagging. Giving this a go and excited to see you are actively developing!

PeaceBy Jesus (ID: 000000cc387ff3e1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/09/2021 In Vivaldi left licking on the toolbar icon results in a barely visible white drop down box and clicking on it brings up a vertical list of all open tabs, with an pop-up option on hover to copy the tab URL, hide the tab, page it or close it. Right clicking on the toolbar icon and hitting Manage extensions brings up more option, such as keyboard shortcuts and Insights which tells me today 30 websites, 102 pages and experimental features, etc. All this is helpful, although there is no locking of tabs, or search function by typing content of tabs, or saving all the tab URL's, or customizing of tabs (color, fonts, etc.) would would be helpful. As would placing a link to Tab Control in the right click menu of pages, But the Chrome engine is not that of legacy Firefox and thus the famous Tab Mix Plus extension, among others. Thanks. Grace and peace thru Jesus the Lord.

Ronen E (ID: 000000ecd18115dc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/26/2020 This is great! I use it to find tabs and get an overview on what is going on. Showing and hiding groups is very helpful. Looking forward for more features. Thanks!
