Vertical Tabs - Tab Manager, Workspaces & Tab Scroll by SuperchargeBrowser

Vertical Tabs & Tab Manager: synced workspaces, command bar, tab scroll, session restore. Arc replacement. Zero tracking.

The free Arc replacement for Chrome — vertical tabs, command bar, workspaces, session time-travel, and 14 features to organize messy tabs. Manage 100+ open tabs from a side panel tab manager with Spotlight-style search. No subscription, no login, no cloud. A modern alternative to OneTab, Workona, Session Buddy, Vimium, and Tree Style Tab, built for power users who live in their browser. SuperchargeNavigation manages your tabs with keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, and a persistent side panel. Alt+K opens a command bar to search tabs, bookmarks, history, or the web — like Spotlight or Arc's command palette. Shift+Click previews any link without opening a tab (Glance/Peek). Alt+Scroll restores the tab scrolling Chrome removed. Switch between named workspaces. Rewind your session to any point in the last 50 snapshots. Everything runs locally — your tabs never leave your device. 🔒 ABOUT PERMISSIONS Chrome requires "read and change data" permissions for tab management features that interact with web pages — link previews, scroll gestures, and drag-to-open. SuperchargeNavigation uses these permissions only to manage your tabs — we never track, collect, or transmit your browsing data. Zero telemetry. Everything runs locally on your device. ⚠️ Chrome blocks all extensions from running on the Chrome Web Store, chrome:// pages (settings, extensions), and other extension pages. Tab scrolling, link previews, drag gestures, and mouse gestures will not work on these pages. The side panel, workspaces, keyboard shortcuts (Alt+K, Alt+G), and all tab management features work everywhere. FEATURES Tab, Bookmark & History Search — Alt+K Command Bar (Spotlight for Chrome) Open a full-page search modal from anywhere. Type to filter all open tabs by title or URL, search your bookmarks and browsing history, or keep typing to search the web in a new tab. Works like Mac Spotlight or Arc's command palette. Vertical Tabs — Side Panel Tab Manager A persistent vertical tab list in Chrome's side panel. See all open tabs, groups, and pinned tabs at a glance. Drag to reorder, multi-select to bulk-manage. Filter by typing in the always-visible search bar. Updates live as you open, close, and move tabs. Works with Chrome's built-in tab and tab group sync. Workspaces — Arc-Style Tab Sets Save named sets of tabs and switch between them instantly. Choose from 40+ icons to identify each workspace at a glance. Workspaces preserve tab groups, pinned tabs, mute states, and group colors — exactly as you left them. Export any workspace for backup or sharing. Right-click a tab to send it to another workspace. No subscription, no cloud account required. Session Time-Travel Auto-snapshots your tab state every 5 minutes (up to 50 snapshots). Accidentally closed tabs? Rewind to any point in your session and restore them as a new workspace. No other tab manager has this. Tab Scroll — Alt+Scroll Chrome removed native tab scrolling. Alt+Scroll brings it back — scroll through tabs with your mouse wheel or trackpad. Shift+Scroll stays within the current tab group. Smart Tab Grouping — Alt+G Automatically group all tabs by domain. Multiple Google Docs tabs become a "google.com" group. All grouped, collapsed, and out of the way. Inactive groups auto-collapse to reduce clutter. Alt+Shift+G to ungroup everything. Glance / Peek — Preview Before Opening a Tab Shift+Click any link to preview it in an overlay — decide if it's worth a tab before opening one. Read the content, then close or promote to a full tab. Like Arc's Peek, but in Chrome. Fewer unnecessary tabs. Tab Deduplicator Navigate to a page that's already open? A prompt lets you switch to the existing tab instead of creating a duplicate. Keeps your tab bar clean automatically. Super Drag — Open Tabs by Gesture Drag a link up to open in a background tab, down for foreground. Drag selected text to search in a new tab. Intelligently disabled on web apps like Google Docs and ChatGPT. Rocker Gestures — Navigate Tabs by Mouse Right-click + left-click to go back. Left-click + right-click to go forward. Middle-click + left/right to jump between tab groups. Tab Lock Protect tabs from Smart Group and Degroup operations. Locked tabs are excluded from all auto-grouping — useful for permanent tabs like email or calendar. Bulk Actions Select multiple tabs, then batch: close, pin, mute, group, or lock them all at once. Bulk close by domain. The action bar appears automatically when tabs are selected. Session Restore Recover tabs and windows from your last browser session. Works even after a crash — no data loss. Complements Time-Travel snapshots for full session recovery. Tab Notes Attach a private note to any tab. Notes are saved by URL and persist across sessions — useful for research, code review, or tracking why you kept a tab open. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS All hotkeys are customizable in Chrome's shortcut settings: • Alt+K — Search tabs, bookmarks, history, or the web • Alt+G — Group all tabs by domain • Alt+Shift+G — Ungroup all • Alt+Scroll — Scroll between tabs • Alt+↑/↓ — Navigate to previous/next tab PRIVACY SuperchargeNavigation never tracks, collects, or transmits your browsing data: • No accounts, no sign-up, no cloud sync • No browsing history, page content, or URL data sent anywhere • All tabs, workspaces, and snapshots stored locally on your device • Built on Chrome's latest security model WHY DOES IT NEED THESE PERMISSIONS? • "Read and change data" — required for link previews (Glance/Peek), scroll gestures, and drag-to-open. These features interact with web pages. No browsing data is collected or sent anywhere. • Bookmarks — the Alt+K command bar includes your bookmarks in search results so you can open any bookmark instantly. • History — the Alt+K command bar includes your browsing history in search results. • Sessions — used to restore tabs and windows from your previous browser session after a crash or restart. • Manage extensions — used only to detect whether SuperchargePerformance is installed. If it is, three commands appear in the Alt+K menu: suspend all tabs, toggle site whitelist, and toggle SuperchargePerformance on/off. No other extension data is read.
