TAB Explorer

Organize tabs into workspaces, folders, and links in Chrome's side panel.

TAB Explorer turns your browser tabs into a structured, file-explorer-style workspace right inside Chrome's side panel. Instead of a flat pile of bookmarks or overwhelming tab overload, TAB Explorer lets you organize your browsing into Workspaces, Folders, Subfolders, and Quick Links — using the exact same intuitive mental model as your operating system's file manager. KEY FEATURES - Workspaces: Separate projects, courses, work environments, and research topics into isolated workspaces. - Nested Folder Trees: Create deep folder hierarchies with subfolders and customized colors. - 1-Click Tab Saving: Save all currently open tabs into any folder instantly in Append or Replace mode. - Fast Batch Tab Reopening: Reopen single links, whole folders, or entire workspaces in throttled batches to prevent browser freezing. - Smart Session Restore: Automatically keeps track of your open tabs locally. If Chrome restarts or closes unexpectedly, restore your session in one click. - Cross-Workspace Instant Search: Search across all folders and links simultaneously. - Familiar File-Explorer Actions: Multi-select with Shift/Ctrl, native drag-and-drop reordering, right-click context menu, inline renaming, cut, copy, and paste. - Starred Folders: Pin frequently used folders to the top of their level for rapid access. - Smart Favicons: Automatically detects and displays accurate icons for popular websites and services, with a fallback to Chrome's favicon service when a site isn't recognized. - 50-Step Persistent Undo: Every folder deletion, rename, or organization step can be undone at any time. - Backup & Migration: Export and import your entire workspace hierarchy as portable JSON files. HOW TO USE IT 1. Click the TAB Explorer icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the side panel. 2. Click "Save Tabs" to bookmark your current browsing tabs into a folder. 3. Drag and drop folders or links to organize your workspace. 4. Click any folder or link to open it, or right-click to access rename, recolor, star, and delete tools. PRIVACY & DATA SAFETY TAB Explorer is built with a local-first, privacy-by-design architecture: - 100% Local: All workspaces, links, and preferences are stored exclusively on your device in chrome.storage.local. - No Cloud: No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no cookies, and no tracking telemetry. - No Content Reading: The extension never reads your page contents or intercepts web traffic.
