Pure Side Tabs

Safely view and manage your open tabs and tab groups in a sidebar. Fully open-source, with zero dependencies and no data collection.

🪩 Features • Show tabs and tab groups in a sidebar • No data harvesting, ever (source is available for verification) • Pop-up menu with most-recently visited tabs • Allows easily switching between most-recently used tabs with the keyboard • Recent tab view allows for a Ctrl-Tab-like experience. • Press / in the popup to search all open and recently closed tabs • Drag-and-drop tabs and tab groups for arrangement ⌨️ Usage 1. Install from the Chrome Web Store 2. Ctrl-B (Command-B on Mac) to show sidebar 3. Ctrl-E (Command-E on Mac) to show popup menu, arrow keys or j/k to navigate, enter to switch, esc to dismiss 4. Configure shortcuts to change keyboard mappings (Window > Extensions > Keyboard shortcuts) 5. Configure settings in extension options 📣 Tips • You can pin the extension (from the sidebar's title, the Extensions toolbar, or from the extension's details) to make the recent tab popup show faster. • You can use the popup menu to easily switch back and forth between two tabs (Ctrl-Tab replacement): show the popup menu (Ctrl/Command-E by default), then press Enter. This will switch back and forth between the two most recently-viewed tabs. • Holding Ctrl/Command while collapsing or expanding tab groups will apply the command to all tab groups in the window. • Enable "Always keep tab groups at top" in settings to pin tab groups directly after pinned tabs, with automatic enforcement on new tabs and drag-and-drop. 📋 Changelog • 1.2.0 - "tab groups always at top" setting, added search to MRU popup, audio icon sidebar, bug where tabs were removed from tab groups • 1.1.0 - cmd+click to open/close all tab groups, scroll to newly opened tabs in list • 1.0.0 - initial release
