Clean Tabs

One click — remove duplicate tabs across all windows, then group what's left by website.

You have 217 tabs across 4 Chrome windows. Most are duplicates. One click. Now you have 38 tabs in one tidy window, grouped by site. Tab Vacuum is the simplest, fastest, and most private way to remove duplicate tabs in Chrome — no accounts, no settings, no cloud sync, no upsell. Just click the icon. Done. ⚡ WHAT IT DOES (in one click) ✓ Removes EVERY duplicate tab across ALL your open Chrome windows (matched by URL) ✓ Merges surviving tabs into a single window ✓ Auto-groups remaining tabs by website hostname (collapsed for a clean tab bar) ✓ Runs in under a second, even with 200+ tabs 🎯 HOW IT'S DIFFERENT FROM ONETAB / WORKONA / TOBY • OneTab saves tabs to a list — Tab Vacuum tidies them in place. • Workona syncs to the cloud — Tab Vacuum runs 100% locally. • Toby is a visual board — Tab Vacuum is one click. • You don't need an account, a subscription, or a tutorial. 🔒 PRIVACY (the short version — full policy on GitHub) • No analytics. No telemetry. No crash reporting. • No accounts, no sync, no cloud — there isn't even a server. • Reads tab URLs ONLY when you click the icon, ONLY on your device. • 2 permissions: "tabs" and "tabGroups" — minimum required, nothing else. 🪶 OPEN SOURCE — 50 LINES OF CODE The whole extension is ~50 lines of vanilla JavaScript.
