About Tab Flow & Drag

Tab Flow & Drag redefines how you manage your browser tabs. Whether you’re juggling multiple windows or simply looking to streamline your workflow, this extension offers a suite of powerful features: Smart Tab Management: Custom New Tab Positioning: Choose whether new tabs appear at the browser’s default location, or position them to the left, right, first, or last relative to your current tab. Post-Close Activation: Customize which tab becomes active when you close a tab—select from options such as the left, right, first, or last tab. Duplicate Tab Prevention: Prevent duplicate tabs based on full URL or hostname criteria. Choose whether to keep the new tab or close the duplicate, and opt for system notifications or inline banners for alerts. Domain Management: Quickly close all tabs from the active domain (when enabled in settings) using a handy keyboard shortcut. Drag-to-Search Functionality: Simply drag highlighted text anywhere in the browser to automatically perform a search using your preferred search engine (Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing). Smart Tab Sorting: Sort tabs alphabetically, by domain, or using a custom flow that groups tabs intelligently based on your current active tab. User-Friendly Interface: Enjoy a modern, responsive UI with support for both dark and light themes. Additional Features: Cross-window management and preview thumbnails. Tab Flow & Drag is designed to enhance your productivity while making your browsing experience more intuitive. Version 2.1 Latest updates and fixes Chromium Sync Fix Ensures correct tab activation after closing a tab, resolving issues introduced in recent Chromium updates where the wrong tab would stay active.
