24 alternatives to Tabtation – A Chrome Extension to Manage Your 'Too Many Tabs Syndrome'
Hey there, HN! My name is Rishit, and this is my first post here on HN. Let me start off by asking you a question. How many tabs do you have open in Chrome right now? If you said less than five or ten: Congratulations, you’re not suffering from the dreaded 'Too Many Tabs Syndrome' (TMTS). Well, most probably! We all grow and start from zero. What?! Say that again. Did I hear you correctly? 25? 50? 100? Maybe even more? Or you’re just too lazy like me and said ‘too many’ since you can’t count them on your fingers? Woah! Now we’re talking! Yeah, yeah, I know, we’re in HN land after all, so I…

Tag my Tab▲128Hello Again HN ! My name is Tafita, and I'm back with my second launch: Tag my Tab The indie hacker journey hasn't gotten easier (spoiler: the imposter syndrome is real), but seeing people actually use something I built? That feeling never gets old. Meet Tag my Tab – Never Lose a Tab Again So here's the thing: while building and marketing my other products, I found myself drowning in browser tabs. Research articles, competitor analyses, design inspiration, documentation, customer feedback. I'd have 30+ tabs open, my browser grinding all my RAM and I was living in constant fear of that…

Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabliner/aglmjcobpaikhghnfnioeipbddcgpmad?hl=en GitHub: https://github.com/uyhcire/tabliner For a long time, I've struggled with having too many tabs open. I tried looking through my tabs each week, and using tab manager Chrome extensions, but I still didn't have a good way to quickly look over and close my tabs. With all the other extensions I tried, I felt like there was too much friction when I tried to close tabs. So I wrote an extension for myself, focusing on making it really…

I built a simple Chrome extension to finally deal with my tab anxiety. I used to have 100s of tabs open — half were tasks, the rest were links I didn’t want to lose. Now, if something’s quick (like replying to an email), I just do it and close the tab.If it’s a task that’ll take time, I add a one-line note with a link (if needed) to the To-do tab.If it’s not a task but something I want to read or save, I add it to the Links tab — and close the tab. This small workflow has been a game-changer. I finally feel okay closing tabs and can focus better.The to-do list forces me to pick just one…

Hello HN! Beginner dev here; read several articles about the challenges faced by users with disabilities (and the impact on businesses). Thought to build a chrome extension to enhance web experience for users with disabilities, after realizing that current solutions focus on auditing web for accessibility. Current features published on Chrome store: Text Magnification | High contrast | Alt text | TTS. Working on (but not published yet) tooltip to explain each feature, additional language support. Will appreciate feedback, collaborations and suggestions of things to improve. GitHub Repo:…

*Problem*: As a developer, I often juggle 50+ tabs across projects. Existing bookmark managers felt clunky, and tab groups required too many clicks. *Solution*: TabTab replaces your new tab page with a grid-style dashboard. Key features: - Save all open tabs as a collection with one click (perfect for debugging sessions) - Self-hosted sync via GitHub Gist/WebDAV (no tracking, your data stays yours) - Keyboard shortcuts & drag-and-drop (demo video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQQEKbI9moc]) *Tech Stack*: Built with WXT (browser extension framework) + React + Tailwind.…

Hi HN, I recently built a simple Chrome extension called Twinbox to help organize DMs on X (formerly Twitter - yes, I reminded you again haha). The idea came from my own frustration with managing multiple conversations – it’s easy for things to get lost, especially when juggling personal, work, and project-related chats. The extension lets you: - Create folders to categorize your DMs (e.g., “Work,” “Friends,” “Projects”). - Keep things tidy and easier to follow up on. It’s free to use, lightweight, and privacy-focused – all the organization happens locally in your browser. I’d love to hear…

Since I started working in tech I constantly found myself with literally 100+ tabs open and not enough will power to organize (or close) them Any tab manager I found required me to do extra steps to an, admittedly, already easy process that I still wasn't doing So I decided on building my own thing, and making a product out of it. It's a Chrome based extension and does a couple of things: - automatically hides tabs from your tab bar but keeps them open in a vertical one - deduplicates tabs - automatically moves new tabs in groups - and ofc, has an AI to organize them in groups based on on…
