Tab Groups are meant to be “grouped”, but with one tab in said group, it kind of defeats the purpose unless you’re that retentive about organization. One other thing you may not like is that if a tab exists as the only one in its domain and is up on your browser, it will be placed into its own tab group. Group Tabs has the ability to automatically create a tab group from tabs that are on the same domain or website! It does ignore subdomains though, which is a mystery to me, but okay. Don’t be fooled though, there’s a bit more to it than that. Named “Group Tabs”, this minimalistic add-on does exactly what it says exactly how Google does. If you’re okay with missing out on the whole saving tab groups for later crazy and simply want a lightweight extension that lets you group tabs without Google being involved as much, then I’ve got something for you to check out. Michael Brauman, Chrome web store reviewer Group Tabs Businesses and teams should consider adopting it across the board. While Workona is technically a brower extension, I believe it belongs more in the category of productivity tools. The problem is that they don’t solve the root problem, how can you organize your thinking and increase your overall productivity. There are many tools that claim to organize your tabs. If you are interested in using it for your organization, small team, or large company, one Chrome Web Store reviewer says it best by stating that Workona is in a category of its own and I’m inclined to agree! Workona lets you organize your tabs into “workspaces” based on the projects you’re heading off or participating in, lets you use your workspaces on multiple devices via a backup and restore feature, and more!Īs you can probably tell already, this one is more focused on being a management tool for businesses and not as much for individuals, but I’ve used it for the latter just fine and believe that you can too. I love Toby, but I don’t really like this about it. You’re welcome.To be fair, it only collects your browser history in order to collapse tab groups for later, whereas Toby collects nearly everything and seems like it wants your firstborn too. While it’s still impossible to tell exactly browser tabs are making noise (because of plugins like Flash running shared instances in Chrome), Mute Tab is a noble attempt at solving the #firstworldproblem by at least giving you a partial workaround to the whole “throwing your laptop out a window” thing. Unfortunately there’s no way to mute a Flash game without shutting down the game entirely (Sorry Farmville fans). Mute Tab also lets you drill down into the precise details of what tabs could be making noise by clicking on the Mute Tab icon in your browser bar, showing what tags might be the culprit on each page. You can then mute the app by right clicking on the page and selecting Mute, which either mutes it while it plays (Safe) or shuts off the plugin (Unsafe). This noisy browser tab thing bugs me so much so that months ago I asked the universe in prayer, “Can someone please make a browser extension that tells you/kills whichever tab is making noise?” Well it looks like my request has been answered, finally, in the form of the Mute Tab Chrome extension.Ĭreated by Jared Sohn, Mute Tab scans web pages for embed plugin HTML tags that are likely to make sound such as, , or and changes the icon on the tab of the possibly offending page to the Mute Tab musical note icon. You know what really grinds my gears? Having 15 browser tabs open and one playing music and not knowing which one is playing music and having to scroll through all the tabs in order to find the one that’s playing music in order to kill it because it’s making you crazy and by the time you’ve killed it you’ve lost track of what you were working on in the first place so you have to thumb through all the tabs again just to get back to your work and by that time you can’t work BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY THROWN YOUR LAPTOP OUT OF A SIX STORY WINDOW.
