Otto Tabs

Smart tabs management

As a developper I often find myself struggling with too many open tabs.
Clicking on a link in an email or from any chat software creates each time a new tab. On top of this, add some Google, Wikipedia Github or Stack Overflow tabs and your browser looks like a mess 😤.

It needs regular manual intervention to keep a clean browser. That is why I created Otto Tabs.

Compatibility

Otto Tabs works with all chromium based browsers (Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi) that support extensions.

Features

Those feature can be toggled on and off. By default the first two are enabled.

Group/stack tabs automatically

Tabs from same domain are grouped next to each other or stacked (Vivaldi).

Behavior in Chrome

Behavior in Vivaldi

Remove duplicate tabs

Tabs with the same url are closed. Only last open tab is kept.

Remove older tabs

No more than 5 tabs from the same domain are open at the same time.

Want to build and install the extension yourself ?

• Install yarn
• Download or clone the project
• Using a terminal go to the project root folder
• Type yarn archive. This will execute the unit tests and create a build folder. This folder contains all the extension files.
• Go to either vivaldi://extensions/ or chrome://extensions/ according to your browser
• Install the extension as unpacked by selecting the build folder
