Tab Manager Plus for Chrome is a fast, lightweight, and open-source browser extension designed to help heavy internet users organize, filter, and control a large number of open tabs and windows simultaneously. Core Features
Visual Grid Overview: It displays all your open browser windows and tabs in a compact grid or list layout within a single popup window.
Instant Search Filtering: You can open the popup and start typing immediately to instantly highlight and filter tabs by their URL or title.
Duplicate Highlighter: The extension automatically identifies and highlights duplicate tabs, making it easy to remove identical pages eating up your computer’s RAM.
Tab Limits: You can enforce a maximum tab count per window (e.g., 15 tabs). Once hit, any new tab you open will automatically open in a brand-new window.
Bulk Management Actions: Using right-click or keyboard modifiers (Ctrl, Cmd, Shift), you can select multiple tabs at once to move them between windows, pin them, or close them together. Pros and Cons
According to product reviews on platforms like Rambox and user discussions on Product Hunt, the extension has clear strengths and limitations: Pros:
Speed: Built specifically for speed and rapid keyboard navigation.
Privacy & Safety: It is an open-source revival of an older tool, rewritten cleanly without malicious code or intrusive remote tracking.
Clean Layout: Eliminates the need to squint at tiny favicons in your standard tab bar. Cons:
No Auto-Save: It does not automatically back up or save your active sessions permanently, meaning your workspace resets if the browser crashes completely.
Performance Drops: Browser responsiveness can occasionally slow down if you have hundreds of tabs active at once.
