About Vertical Tab Manager Sidebar
Vertical Tab Manager Sidebar brings a clean, practical vertical tab experience to Chrome.
Instead of managing dozens of tabs in a crowded horizontal tab strip, you can organize everything in a sidebar with better visibility and faster control.
## Features
- View tabs vertically in Chrome's side panel
- Switch tabs quickly from the sidebar
- Search tabs by title, URL, domain, or group name
- Pin and unpin tabs
- Close tabs individually
- Drag to reorder tabs
- Display and manage tab groups
- Collapse and expand groups
- Sync group collapse state with Chrome tab groups
- Bulk actions for grouped tabs
- Right-click menu for common tab actions
- Recently closed tab restore tools
## Built for heavy tab workflows
This extension is especially useful for users who:
- work with many tabs at the same time
- rely on Chrome tab groups
- want a vertical tabs workflow inside Chrome
- use session restore tools and want help recovering lost tab group metadata
## Session recovery support
Some session restore workflows may reopen tab groups without fully restoring their titles, colors, or collapse state.
This extension includes local snapshot-based recovery logic to help reapply missing tab group metadata when possible.
## Privacy-first approach
This extension works locally in your browser.
It does not require an account.
It does not upload your tabs, URLs, or group data to a remote server.
## Notes
- The extension uses Chrome tab and tab group APIs to manage browser tabs.
- Metadata recovery is best-effort and depends on the tabs available in the current restored session.
- Similar tab groups may occasionally require manual adjustment.
