Switch Workstation Tab Manager
Switch is a workstation that helps you manage web applications and accounts in 1 place.
Switch adds a sidebar to your Chrome browser and gives you a set of productivity tools that make it easier to switch between apps, accounts, and workflows.
Unlike desktop workstations, Switch runs inside your Chrome web browser so you can manage all your web applications without sacrificing flexibility and features.
Using the Switch Sidebar helps you to become ultra-productive in the browser with the following features:
🧠 Tab Management
Smart tab management with the Switch sidebar – avoid tab overload and keep track of your browsing with tab stacking.
🐙 Multi-Account Management
Switch lets you log in and use multiple accounts (e.g. Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, etc) for a single website directly from the Switch extension - helping you to focus on the tasks that matter.
📚 Organise your workflow
Organise the internet your way with Spaces – sort information into projects for everything you can think of.
🌟 Favourites & Notifications
Save important web applications as favorites and they'll stay in the sidebar even after you close them. Open them with 1 click, and see instant notifications badges in the Sidebar from your favorite communication apps (i.e. Slack, Gmail, Messenger, Outlook).
🔍 Active Search
Find your active tabs with a simple text search and see them listed chronologically for easy access.
You can create up to 2 Spaces and save up to 2 Favourites in our free version. We also offer a Switch Pro subscription plan with unlimited functionality and the following advanced features:
🕵️♂️ Advanced Search
Quickly find any tab from your history with our keyword search. Switch uses a flexible search algorithm that makes finding what you need fast and easy.
🗂 Document Management Search
With our filters, you can easily search through your Google Drive accounts. All Docs, Sheets, Slides show up and are sorted chronologically, meaning you can find and manage your documents in seconds.
🏄 Tab Flow
Whether you're comparing multiple tabs or responding to a loved one on Facebook, easily switch back and forth between your recent tabs with Switch Tab History and get back into the flow.

This doesn't work. And from looking at other reviews, it's cause it was abandoned a few years ago.
need an alternative for sessionbox, this plugin could be much much better
Guys this extension is AWESOME!!! Please update and let me pay for it :))
!!!!! DO NOT INSTALL, EXTENSION HAS BEEN ABANDONED !!!!!| No longer works with Google sign-in. It's pretty obvious that this developer took the money and ran and just completely abandoned this. "Your message wasn't delivered to [email protected] because the domain swtichextension.com couldn't be found. Check for typos or unnecessary spaces and try again."
This is an awsome and complete Add-in. A must have for any Chrome user. It allows you to instantly close all Youtube windows when you have about 20 of them open. Would be nice to allow you to keep 1 open, but that is luxury.
!!!!! DO NOT INSTALL, EXTENSION HAS BEEN ABANDONED !!!!! Developer has ABANDONED this extension and is ignoring requests to cancel the Pro plan from myself and other users.

BEWARE!! This is ABANDONWARE, and the developer is either unable or unwilling to respond to requests to cancel the pro plan!!! I had to CANCEL MY DEBIT CARD and get a new one because its been months and they won't stop charging! I'm going to do everything possible to get Google to take action here.

这个是我见到目前最好的workspace管理插件，媲美wavebox
I liked the idea and also the videos i've seen. But sadly nearly ALL my tabs that i am opening are loading and loading and spinning and loading. After deactivating the extension, all pages i'm opening are instantly there. Sad. Looked promising. Deinstalling now... :'(

It's a nice extension but has a few problems. Some websites don't work well, especially instagram, You have to minimize the sidebar for it to work. Also why does it need to run in the background?

Multiple accounts seem to work for everything but the only website I want to use it with - Discord. :(

The extension is really functional and useful. The UI is great, too. However it's quite disturbing that the sidebar takes time to be integrated into the newly opened websites.

Incredibly useful if you're someone with multiple tabs open at all times. Before, I'd rely on the icon on the tab at the top, but if I had 10 pages from the same website open then I'd have to go through each one until I found the specific page I was looking for, Switch takes this burdensome task away by grouping them together under one tab and then giving a little description of the page when you hover over the icon. Makes navigating my desktop and the internet soooo much easier. Highly recommend.

This extension has undoubtedly improved my productivity. As a researcher, I am constantly battling with endless tabs in my browser and this extension has immediately streamlined that experience. I especially enjoy the ability to favourite most used tabs (for me, that is Gmail and Toggl Track) and the grouping of multiple tabs from the same website, e.g. OUP or JSTOR. Another great feature is the search tool - I can manage my google docs much more easily, and even search for google docs that I no longer have open, which is a game changer. Thank you, Switch.

Just started using Switch it seems really useful for grouping tabs and tasks within Chrome and making workflow more efficient when handling multiple projects, the spaces feature is really interesting!

Super useful extension! Great for keeping track of the millions of tabs I have open

My only complain is that the sidebar often causes sites to get cut off when it's expanded.

As someone who uses dozens or even 100+ tabs over multiple Windows (I work using Google Drive, Gmail, etc, I have multiple tabs open for research), this has been a gamechanger for me. It helps me organize, it helps me research, it helps me work without worrying where all my information is. I used the free version for months and am now strongly considering the paid version. Great product and the free version is very useful to see if this product is for you.

It is a very useful tool. I used to struggle to find a tab when I had 30+ tabs opened, and Switch can very quickly help you find the tab with the search tool. Also I found very useful the Crtl + tab option (with their own shortcuts) to go back and forth to the most recent used tabs. Overall it has helped me have a more organized workspace without me having to do anything.

I installed this extension for a few weeks until I realized it has glitches that prevented displaying some websites. For example, with this extension installed, the simple front page at https://www.java.com/en/ is showing a blank page. I have repeatedly tested installing/uninstalling this extension. Whenever it is installed, the java.com and some other websites failed to load.

Very good extension!
its good but doesnt work on discord

I likes the extension, however, it's preventing me from loading discord in a tab. While this app is enabled, discord will simply not show no matter how many times you refresh the tab. If you could fix this it would be fantastic! I'm using Chrome 90.0.4430.93 in a Mac.

konečně všechno v jednom :-D super
I like this extension a lot - I usually have so many tabs and windows open at the same time, so to be able to see them all from any window is pretty game changing for me. There are a lot of small details which really make a difference, too (like youtube muting from the sidebar).
