About Tab Buoy
Important tab groups should not drift out of reach.
Tab Buoy keeps your chosen native Chrome tab groups first in whichever windows
they are open. Build an ordered list for a few key groups, or include every
group and exclude the ones that should stay out of the way.
CHROME PINS TABS. TAB BUOY BUOYS GROUPS.
• Keep selected groups directly after Chrome's native pinned tabs
• Put important groups in a clear, saved order
• Include every open group automatically, with optional exclusions
• Restore uniquely named and color-coded groups after Chrome restarts
• Pause automatic reordering in one window without affecting the others
• Include, exclude, buoy, or unbuoy a group from a member tab's context menu
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Tab Buoy does not read page titles, URLs, page content, browsing history, or
bookmarks. It has no analytics, ads, accounts, or external servers. Your chosen
order is stored with Chrome using only native group titles and colors; temporary
browser IDs remain session-only.
Tab Buoy uses Chrome's existing tab-group interface. It arranges native groups
without replacing your tab bar or creating a separate sidebar.
Tip: give important groups distinct titles or colors so Tab Buoy can restore
them reliably after they close or Chrome restarts.
