TAB HIBERNATION:
1. Choose how long tabs should go un-viewed before hibernating.
2. Curate a list of domains to never hibernate.
3. Optionally choose to hibernate pinned tabs.
Hibernating tabs still appear in your browser's top bar, and have the benefit of not using any memory or CPU (reducing lag and slow tab loading times). Samurai knows which tabs are active, playing audio/video, pinned, or fall under your domain whitelist. These tabs won't be hibernated.

TAB MANAGEMENT:
1. Search bar to find a tab with a query.
2. Tab list grouped by domain, or by window.
3. Tabs recording video (webcam) or audio appear at the top of the list.
4. Manually hibernate tabs.
5. Close an individual tab, or mass-close tabs under a certain domain.
6. Mute an individual tab, or mass-mute all tabs in a window.
7. Pin an individual tab, or mass-pin all tabs under a certain domain.
8. Move all tabs under a certain domain to a new window.
Samurai's tab management is the tool for the job whether you're:
- Looking for specific tab in a sea of many.
- Tracking down which tab is using your webcam.
- Organizing tabs scattered across multiple windows.
- Closing out no-longer-needed tabs.
- Pinning your favorite tabs.
- Finding & muting tabs that are playing audio.

- (2025-03-11) Danielle Bishop: i always wish i was able to hibernate my tabs, knowing i wont use them for a while but not wanting to close. amazing!! works great! you can set the time you want them to hibernate, and you can pin tabs if you dont want them to hibernate. and bonus... you can see your recent closed tabs! cant even do that in the browser. it only shows search history in browser. so now i can reopen a recently closed tab easily!! great extension. im not paid, just a happy user!
- (2025-03-10) Colin Hempstead: It seems incapable of hibernating virtually every tab.
- (2025-01-27) Lit Bro: Helps me quickly close out tabs when I get too many. Search bar to find a tab in your sea of tabs is also a nice touch. Also the tab hibernation works good in the background, seems to help make my browser run a lil faster
