What Tab Manager v2 is
Tab Manager v2 is a free browser extension that creates a searchable workspace for tabs across browser windows. It searches open tabs by title or URL and can optionally include browser history. Matching tabs can be moved, grouped, closed, or opened in a new window, while duplicate tabs are highlighted for removal. Where supported, native tab groups can be renamed, recolored, collapsed, and reorganized. Keyboard navigation, shortcut help, and a command palette add alternate controls. Display settings include theme, tab width, font size, toolbar behavior, and URL visibility. The maker links to Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions. Safari is unsupported because it lacks an API required for moving tabs. Core functions run locally, and the maker says tab data remains in the browser. Its privacy policy says tab, window, history, and settings data are not sent to its servers; extension data uses browser sync storage when available, with local storage as fallback. Windows cannot be renamed, and Google Fonts assets may be requested by the popup.
