Tabio is a free, open-source Chrome extension for managing large collections of tabs.
What Tabio is
Tabio is a free, open-source Chrome extension for managing large collections of tabs. It combines tabs from all browser windows into one list, then lets users find them with fuzzy search across tab titles and URLs. Keyboard shortcuts open the popup, move through results, switch to a selected tab, close tabs, clear searches, and dismiss the popup. The project describes its audience as tab hoarders and is distributed through the Chrome Web Store at no cost. Tabio uses the MIT License. Its GitHub repository was archived on December 7, 2021, and is read-only. The project also notes that Chrome now has built-in tab search. Version 2.0.0 removed tab reordering and the pinned-tab indicator. The homepage lists [email protected] as a contact address. Tabio is therefore a focused single-list and search tool for Chrome users who prefer an open-source extension, while Chrome’s own tab search is an available built-in alternative.

Who it suits
