Hi Product Hunt, I'm Rohit. I made BetterTabs because I have 100+ tabs open and I don't like the default tab management system of Chrome.
BetterTabs puts every open tab in Chrome's side panel, grouped by website, so the list sits beside the page instead of being squeezed into the tab strip. I am releasing new features based on my growing requirements, and if you have a feature suggestion then please let me know.
New in 1.7.1:
Search finds pages you closed. Matches from your Chrome history appear under "From your history".
Favourite a whole site. Right-click a site's folder, and the favourite stays lit even when the page changes.
A list that holds still while tabs change, so rows do not move under your mouse.
A backup file for your favourites, saved lists, tab names and settings. Restore it by choosing the file or dropping it on the panel.
A redone Settings page, and shortcuts written for Mac (⌥⇧B to open, ⌘-click to select, ⌫ closes a tab).
Compatibility with longbook.app (which is another project that I am launching on PH soon)
Already in it from v1.7.0:
group by site, window, recent use or Chrome tab group
rename tabs
close duplicates
suspend tabs to free memory
select several tabs at once
saved lists
recent tabs kept for about half a day
backup file
Coming up in v1.8.0 SOON
Status bar: a strip at the bottom of the panel. It shows your tab count, how many tabs are on claude.ai, memory, CPU and Chrome’s connection estimate etc.
Tab back/forward: two buttons next to search that step through the tabs you switched between, not a page’s own history. The history is kept per window and is not saved anywhere.
Free and open source. I would love to hear what slows you down when you have a lot of tabs open.
P.S. I know there are other Tab Managers out there, but this one is from me. And if you have a feature that you would like to have in it, comment and let me know! :)
i appreciate this problem, i have it to! but i wont because it helps me remember in chronological order what tab i had and what idea from it
@daviddoes That's a good idea, I have now made BetterTabs open in the same Chronological order when it starts, and clicking Tab order resets the list to Chrome's order again.
The Forward/Back buttons in BetterTabs move you to the last tab that was open, (NOT the last URL of the same tab)
And keyboard shortcuts for everything.
I made BetterTabs for myself, hope you find my features helpful as well. Check out the github repo to download the latest version
