Tab Shelf

A side-panel shelf for open Chrome tabs: inspect, sort, bookmark, close, and reopen recent closes.

Manage open tabs, bookmarks, and synced device tabs from a focused Chrome side panel. Detailed Description Tab Shelf is a compact side-panel workspace for people who keep too many tabs open and want a safer way to close, save, and recover them. Use Tab Shelf to review every open tab across Chrome windows, improve vague unloaded tab titles, search and sort tabs, close tabs individually or in batches, and optionally bookmark tabs before closing them. Tab Shelf also includes a practical bookmark manager for creating folders, moving bookmarks, deleting selected items, and opening bookmark groups without using Chrome's default bookmark manager. For Chrome Sync users, the Devices view can show synced tabs from other devices and open them on the current machine. Chrome does not allow extensions to close tabs remotely on other devices. Key Features - View tabs grouped by Chrome window. - Search and sort tabs by title, URL, domain, or window order. - Close tabs individually, by selection, or by window. - Bookmark tabs before closing them. - Create timestamped session folders. - Undo the most recent close by reopening URLs. - Improve unloaded tab titles with local Chrome History and optional title fetch. - Manage bookmarks with folder navigation, search, multi-select, move, delete, and create actions. - Open synced tabs from other Chrome devices. - Light and dark themes. Permissions Explanation - Tabs: required to list, focus, close, and reopen local tabs. - Bookmarks: required for bookmark-and-close flows and the bookmark manager. - History: used locally to improve vague unloaded tab titles. - Sessions: used to show synced tabs from other Chrome devices. - Optional host permissions: requested only when the user clicks the fetch-title button for a site.
