Vertical tab management from your side panel with support for tab groups, multiple windows, and much more.
Tab Shelf is a minimal, yet versatile, vertical tab manager for Chrome.
🤔 WHY VERTICAL TABS?
Whether you're frantically doing research for a paper, queuing up articles to read, or you just love hoarding tabs, tab management can be a pain. Having all your tabs squeezed at the top of your window makes it hard to remember what tabs you have and to quickly navigate between them.
Being able to persistently view all your tabs in a convenient, colorful, and customizable vertical view takes that headache away!
⭐️ FEATURES
- View and manage your tabs conveniently from the side panel.
- Use rules to automatically group tabs from specific websites.
- Choose from amongst 20 colors to differentiate your tab groups.
- Quickly search or filter your tabs by group, window, or whether they've got audio playing.
- Sleep your tabs to save memory and energy.
- Sync your settings and grouping rules via your Google account across your other computers.
- Light and dark themes to match your browser, plus 20 accent colors to give your Tab Shelf some flair.

Latest reviews
- (2023-10-26) Jondeir Junior: Great extension! Please make it compatible with the new tab group save and sync feature in chrome, so that we can close tab groups but they remain saved for later usage
- (2023-10-08) Kc Profdev: This is absolutely genius. So many tab managers out there, this I think is the best in terms of attractiveness, simplicity & sheer usability. The only issue I've found is that it doesn't work with Vivaldi, but that's probably because this browser messes with Workspaces, Tab Groupings & the Side Bar in it's own way, which probably isn't compatible with Tab Shelf. Would be nice if this could be fixed though, as Vivaldi is my main browser... Oh, and more than a basic selection of colours are needed for more than 9 Tab Groups. But great work otherwise, an outstanding addition to Chrome.
