The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Tabby Sitter - Automated Tab Manager
New in 0.7.1 --> Fixes the duplicate tabs to be in the browser rather than a popup. Keep a watch for duplicate tabs and have a confirmation. Great for continously opening up the same git pull request inside of Claude / Gemini / OpenCode CLIs for example!
Tired of hunting through a sea of identical tabs to find the right one? Tabby Sitter watches your browsing and automatically sorts tabs into named, color-coded groups the moment they open. This works really well with vertical tabs (go to chrome://flags and enable vertical tabs).
Define simple keyword rules or use regex — your tabs stay organized without lifting a finger.
Note: This works best when you use "Vertical Tabs". To turn on Vertical Tabs, enable it in chrome://flags (if required) and then in Settings --> Appearance set tabs to "Vertical".
Why you'll love it:
- Set it and forget it. Create grouping rules once (e.g. all tabs containing "github.com" → "Dev") and every matching tab lands in the right group automatically. No manual dragging, ever.
- Regex power when you need it. Keyword matching works for most sites, but regex is there if you need precision — match parts of URLs, file extensions, query parameters, whatever.
- One shortcut to rule them all. Hit Ctrl+Shift+O (or Cmd+Shift+O on Mac) to organize every tab in your current window instantly.
- Full control over your rules. Enable or disable rules without deleting them, reorder them with arrow buttons, edit inline, and get a confirm prompt before removal so you never accidentally wipe a rule.
- Rules travel with you. Export your rules to a JSON config file, drop it in Dropbox or iCloud, and import it on another machine. Merge mode means you can combine configs without overwriting.
- Sort the stragglers. Tabs that don't match any rule get sorted alphabetically by domain so the leftovers are at least tidy.
- Privacy-first. Everything lives in your local Chrome storage. No accounts, no analytics, no network requests. The extension is open source and has zero runtime dependencies.
Perfect for:
- Developers juggling docs, repositories, and dashboards
- Researchers managing multiple sources
- Anyone with more than 20 tabs who's tired of the chaos
Lightweight. Under 50 KB zipped. No tracking. No bloat. Just organized tabs.
