About Better Tab Manager
Better Tab Manager turns a whole window of tabs into one searchable list, and restores them whenever you need them.
Click the toolbar button (or press a shortcut) and your open tabs are saved as a list — freeing memory and cutting clutter. Reopen them any time: one tab, a few, or the whole list at once.
WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT:
• Fast and lightweight — rebuilt from scratch (Svelte, Manifest V3); the whole extension is under a megabyte
• No tracking, no analytics, no account — your data stays yours
• Private sync you control — your lists back up to your own private GitHub Gist and merge automatically across computers
• See your tabs on your phone — the companion mobile viewer shows your synced lists anywhere
EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'D EXPECT:
• Save all tabs, selected tabs, or the tabs on one side — from the popup, right-click menu, or keyboard shortcuts
• Name, tag, color, and pin lists; drag tabs between lists
• Tab groups are preserved: a group's name and color are saved and recreated when you restore
• Search across everything you've saved
• Safe deletes: every destructive action is undoable, plus a "Recently deleted" page with a configurable retention period
• Copy any list as Markdown for your notes
• Light and dark themes, compact or comfortable layout
• Import / export JSON backups
PRIVACY
Everything is stored locally in your browser. If you turn on sync, your lists upload to a private GitHub Gist under your own account — never a third-party server of ours. The extension contains no analytics or trackers.
OPEN SOURCE
