Tab Hibernate

Miss Arc’s “close once to hibernate” behavior? Tab Hibernate brings it to Chrome tab groups. HOW IT WORKS • Put tabs in a Chrome tab group • Close a grouped tab once → it hibernates (stops running) instead of disappearing • Hibernate resets to the tab’s original URL (e.g. YouTube homepage, not the video you were on) • Click or focus the hibernated tab to wake it • Close the hibernated tab again to remove it for good • Tabs not in a group close normally IMPORTANT QUIRK Chrome does not tell extensions whether you closed a single tab or used “Close group.” Those look identical when a group has only one tab. To avoid recreating a duplicate group, Tab Hibernate only hibernates when at least one other tab remains in the group: • Close a tab while siblings stay in the group → hibernates • Close the last tab in a group → closes for real (group ends) • Close group → closes for real (no hibernate) Tip: keep 2+ tabs in a group when you want Arc-style hibernate. On Mac, closing the last tab in a window also closes the window — that’s normal Chrome behavior, not the extension. WHY IT’S USEFUL Keep your group as a set of “homes” for sites you revisit — browse deep, close, and land back on the starting page next time — without losing the tab slot in the group. PRIVACY Tab Hibernate runs entirely on your device. It does not send your browsing data to a server. See the privacy policy linked on this store page. NOTES Chrome does not allow extensions to intercept the tab close button directly, so Tab Hibernate recreates a lightweight hibernate page in the same group. You may notice a brief flicker when hibernating.
