About Tab Tamer
Drowning in tabs? Tab Tamer is a fast, keyboard-first command palette for your browser.
FIND ANY TAB INSTANTLY
Press Command+Shift+E (Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows and Linux) on any page and start typing.
Search across every window by title or URL and jump straight there — no more hunting
through a wall of tiny favicons. Arrow keys move, Enter jumps, Escape dismisses.
ONE SEARCH FOR TABS, BOOKMARKS AND HISTORY
Your open tabs and bookmarks appear in a single deduplicated list. Browsing history can
join them too — but only if you switch it on yourself; it is an optional permission that
Tab Tamer never asks for at install time.
SAVE YOUR WORK AS SESSIONS
Snapshot a whole window of tabs as a named session and restore it any time — perfect for
projects, research and "I'll get back to this later". Export your sessions to a JSON file
whenever you want a backup.
FREE UP MEMORY
Suspend idle tabs with one click to reclaim RAM without losing your place — they stay
open and reload when you return. Close every duplicate tab at once. Sweep all non-pinned
tabs when you need a clean slate.
TEN THEMES
From pure-grayscale Ink to an Apple-style Liquid Glass, with Amber, Ocean, Rose, Forest,
Grape, Mono, Light and Dark in between. Switch from the footer at any time.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no ads.
- Tab Tamer makes no network requests at all — there is no server to send anything to.
- Sessions and settings live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device.
- Favicons are read from Chrome's own local cache, not fetched from the internet.
- Tabs in Incognito windows are deliberately excluded from saved sessions.
The keyboard shortcut is customizable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts
Free, with no paid tier and nothing to unlock.
