Tab Solitaire

Throw your tabs off the table like the end of a game of solitaire, then keep them in a list.

Remember the end of a game of Solitaire, when the cards bounce out of the deck and cascade off the screen? Tab Solitaire does that to your tabs. Click the spade in your toolbar and every open tab turns into a card, drops out of the tab strip, bounces across a green felt table and skids off the edge. Each card gets its own speed and bounce, like the real thing. When the table clears, your tabs are waiting in a list, grouped by the hand you threw them in. TWO WAYS TO THROW • Eliminate all tabs: a clean window, every time. • Keep this one: stay on the tab you’re reading and throw the rest. Pinned tabs are never touched, and only the current window is affected. GETTING THEM BACK • Click any tab in the list to reopen it. • “Deal them back” restores a whole hand, with a dealer flicking each card out of the deck and back into its old spot in the strip. • Shift-click to reopen a tab without removing it from the list. THE DETAILS • Cards pick up each site’s own color from its favicon. • Synthesized felt thwacks on every bounce. One click to mute. • Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+S throws everything, Alt+Shift+K keeps the current tab. Rebind them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. PRIVACY Tab Solitaire asks for the least Chrome allows for this job. It reads tab titles and addresses so it can list them, and that’s the whole story. No network requests, no access to page contents, no account, no analytics. Your list is saved in Chrome’s local extension storage only; uninstall and it’s gone. Tab Solitaire is free. If it made you smile, there’s a Buy Me a Coffee button on the table.
