Tab Shelf - Side panel vertical tabs

Vertical tab management from your side panel with support for tab groups, multiple windows, and much more.

Tab Shelf is a minimal, yet versatile, vertical tab manager for Chrome. 🤔 WHY VERTICAL TABS? Whether you're frantically doing research for a paper, queuing up articles to read, or you just love hoarding tabs, tab management can be a pain. Having all your tabs squeezed at the top of your window makes it hard to remember what tabs you have and to quickly navigate between them. Being able to persistently view all your tabs in a convenient, colorful, and customizable vertical view takes that headache away! ⭐️ FEATURES - View and manage your tabs conveniently from the side panel. - Use rules to automatically group tabs from specific websites. - Choose from amongst 20 colors to differentiate your tab groups. - Quickly search or filter your tabs by group, window, or whether they've got audio playing. - Sleep your tabs to save memory and energy. - Sync your settings and grouping rules via your Google account across your other computers. - Light and dark themes to match your browser, plus 20 accent colors to give your Tab Shelf some flair. 🌏 TRANSLATIONS Tab Shelf is available in 17 languages. 🔐 PRIVACY POLICY Please read Tab Shelf's privacy policy (which can be found at: https://www.tabshelf.com/privacy-policy) to understand how Tab Shelf prioritizes responsible permissions usage and user privacy.

All Action Bar buttons will now always be shown by default. Button and Action Bar background hiding can be re-enabled in the settings menu under the Appearance options. The size of the Action Bar buttons could also be customized. ======================= CHANGELOG - v2024.4.0 ======================= NEW FEATURES - Redesigned action bar (formerly known as the bottom bar). - The New Tab and Back To Top buttons will always be visible. Buttons to jump to the active tab, selection mode, and to sleep all unfocused tabs will only be visible when your cursor hovers over the side panel. - Added more visible tooltips for all buttons in the action bar. - Added tab context menu option to group tabs by hostname. - Added bookmarking for tab groups and windows: - Added tab group context menu option to bookmark the tab group. - Added new button to bookmark all tabs in a window (in the window filter menu). - See the 'All Bookmarks' folder in your bookmarks bar for the bookmarked tab groups and windows. Bookmarked tab groups and windows will be manageable from within Tab Shelf in a future update. - Added new buttons to tab group headers for creating a new tab in the group and bookmarking the group. These buttons are disabled by default. - Added a status bar to show the tab count in the current window. This shows the number of selected tabs if in selection mode. This status bar is disabled by default. IMPROVEMENTS - Default side panel toggle keyboard shortcut has been changed from 'Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P' to 'Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + O' to avoid clashing with keyboard shortcuts in Google Docs and other productivity web apps. - Added filter buttons in the settings menu to filter settings by category. - Added context menu customization in the settings menu. - Added settings option to make grouping rules aggressive (forcibly regroup a tab that's already in another group). - Grouping rules settings have been moved into the main settings menu. - Overhauled synced settings and grouping rules storage management (under the hood). BUG FIXES - Resolved issue where some toggle settings were constantly being toggled on and off by itself after changing its value. - Resolved excessive CPU and memory usage issue during account sync. - Resolved excessive grouping rule executions (do not run rules on tabs that are already known to not have a rule for it).
