About Tab Zen

Tab Zen — Smart Tab Manager Tired of browser chaos? Tab Zen replaces your new tab with a clean, focused tab manager that actually helps you stay on top of open tabs. What it does Every time you open a new tab, a quick-switch palette pops up. Type to jump to any open tab instantly, navigate to a URL, or search Google - all without touching your mouse. Behind the palette, all your open tabs are grouped by domain and sorted however you like. You can see at a glance what's open, where, and how long it's been sitting there. Features - Command palette - opens on every new tab. Type to switch tabs, open URLs, or search. - Domain grouping - tabs are grouped by site so you always know what's open and where. - Duplicate detection - spots duplicate tabs automatically and lets you close extras in one click, per domain or all at once. - Favourites bar - pin URLs you visit often. Opens a new tab to that page with one click. - Instant filter - search through all your open tabs by title, domain, or URL. - Sort options - by most recent, alphabetical, or most tabs. - Collapse groups - hide domains you're not working with right now. - Keyboard first - Ctrl+K to open the palette, arrow keys to navigate, Enter to go. What's New (store listing): Tab Groups support Tab Zen now works with Chrome's native tab groups. - Group by domain — hit [ Group ] in any domain card to instantly create a Chrome tab group for all tabs from that site, named and color-coded automatically. - Ungroup — the same button becomes [ Ungroup ] when all tabs in that domain are already grouped. - Add stragglers — if only some tabs from a domain are grouped, an [ + Add to group ] button appears to pull the rest in. - Group indicators — a colored dot and group name now appear on each tab row so you can see grouping at a glance. - Groups view — new toggle in the header to switch from domain view to a Chrome-group-first layout. Ungrouped tabs collect at the bottom. What's New (store listing): Bug fixes + Search palette toggle - Search palette toggle — new icon in the header to disable the palette auto-opening on every new tab. Great if you just want to land on your tabs. Ctrl+K still opens it any time you need it. Setting is remembered. - Fixed: "Add to group" crash — adding ungrouped tabs to an existing Chrome group would fail silently if any tab was in a different window. Now only same-window tabs are moved, matching Chrome's rules. - Fixed: New tab pages excluded from grouping — Tab Zen's own new tab page (and other browser pages) are no longer included in group operations, which caused errors. - Fixed: Group button hidden for multi-window domains — if the same domain has tabs open across multiple windows, the Group button is now hidden to avoid creating orphaned tabs with no way to resolve them. - Improved: Click anywhere to dismiss search — clicking the dark backdrop now closes the palette instead of re-focusing the input. Privacy Tab Zen reads your open tabs to display them. Nothing is sent anywhere. Favourites are saved locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. No accounts, no tracking, no external requests.
