Let's get started and see how we can use these tab management add-ons to not only ease our management flow but also to make our browsing sessions much professional. So, here we go!
1. Tab Session Manager
Autosave on closing and autosave at scheduled intervals makes your life easy and you do not have to worry about manually doing the same stuff again and again.
Tab grouping is also supported to further segregate your browsing activity. You can also save your tabs and windows on a cloud service. And, if required, both import and export of sessions enable you to transfer the relevant data to multiple devices.
2. Tabby - Window & Tab Manager
Whether it's opening, closing, or pinning, you can do it quite fast through this add-on. Like other similar add-ons, you can save all the opened tabs. I like its colorful and intuitive interface which makes it ideal even for the technically challenged.
Its handy search facility enables you to quickly switch to a specific tab. This is available for every open window. It's not just the saving, but the restoration too can be done with a click of a button.
3. Simple Tab Groups
You can add colors and icons to different groups of tabs. This helps in quickly recognizing the group you want to work with. It is also compatible with the multi-account container add-on.
Powerful sorting, searching, and filtering mechanism enables you to organize and search within groups like a pro. You can also open the management interface in the sidebar.
4. OneTab
This add-on is known to help reduce CPU and memory usage by grouping inactive tabs into a single place. This way your browser and the overall system are more responsive and also wake up from sleep, quite fast.
While saving the tabs, you can also filter out certain websites. This helps you save tabs of your choice and omit all others. Duplicate search and removal are also supported.
5. Tab Reloader (Page Auto Refresh)
Session manager ensures your reloading settings persist across multiple web browsing sessions. You can also define whether a given tab should be reloaded in an inactive state or only in an active state.
You can also define custom rules for reloading a tab when a specific URL is matched in the address bar. Advanced users can also run custom JavaScript code on a tab reload.
6. FoxTab
One can create desktop shortcuts for specific tabs to access them, instantly. Similarly, custom time intervals can be specified for tabs you want to reload at regular intervals.
Custom themes make the use of this add-on, a pleasant experience. Copying tab details based on pattern matching is powerful for advanced users. You can also save a tab as a PDF through this add-on.
7. Sidebery
Advanced features like customization of proxy and user agent header make this add-on unique among its competitors. Users can fully customize the context menu to keep the options they use the most.
The selection of multiple tabs with a single mouse click makes it very useful and productive. Power users can customize the entire sidebar interface with their own CSS rules.
8. Tab Stash
Like other tab management add-ons, this one too supports a sidebar for accessing tabs. Group-level actions ensure you can delete, save, and migrate a collection of tabs in one go.
The dark mode is available for the users. Groups can be exported in different formats. A powerful search facility enables you to find a specific tab across different groups.
