About TabPilot
Name
TabPilot
Short description
Lock important tabs, track child pages, restore key tabs, and find reference IDs across open Chrome tabs.
Detailed description
TabPilot is a Chrome extension that helps manage many similar tabs (for example several Axway / Einvoice pages). It provides:
• Lock – pins a tab to its exact URL. Clicking links on a locked page opens them in a new child tab instead of navigating away.
• Child tabs – tabs opened from a locked parent are tracked and shown in a separate group color.
• Keep Open – if a kept tab is closed by accident, TabPilot reopens it. Kept tabs also survive a browser restart.
• Colored group + letter marker – each Lock / Keep Open / Child tab is placed in its own native Chrome tab group with a compact lowercase marker.
• Custom label – a per-tab title override.
• Active tab marker – the active tab title is prefixed with ▶.
• Reference ID / Selected Text Tracker – search all open tabs for an ID or text, highlight matches, step through matches, and optionally track the value as tabs load.
• Right-click search – “Find in All Open Tabs” on selected text and on the tab itself.

Suggested privacy statement
TabPilot processes tab and webpage information locally in the browser to provide tab management, reference search and highlighting. Based on the supplied v1.9 package, the extension code contains no external network call for sending page content, selected text, reference values, URLs or search results to an external server or AI API.
