Features:
- Search by title and URL (just start typing - no need to click search first)
- Keyboard shortcut to open the extension (see below)
- Order by domain
- Drag to re-order manually
- Reload
- Pin / unpin
- Close
- Use the up, down and enter keys to navigate your tabs list
- Select multiple tabs to perform actions on

Your can open the extension with a keyboard shortcut:
Windows – Control + Shift + K
Mac – Command + Shift + K

**NOTE ON KEYBOARD SHORTCUT**
If you find that the keyboard shortcut does not work for you or you would like to change it to something else then go to the Chrome extensions preferences (chrome://extensions), scroll to the bottom and click "Keyboard shortcuts" and you can set your own here.

**NOTE ON PERMISSIONS**
Keepin' Tabs requires permission to "Read your browsing history". This is a slightly misleading description of this permission as your browsing history is not actually used, only the current state of each tab you have open is read to retrieve information such as the page title, URL, etc. No information about your browsing history is read or stored - the only thing that is stored is your choice of list view (compact or expanded). Read more about this permission here: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs#type-Tab.

Alexander Bietroskowskiwicz (Alex) 2025-03-06: As someone who routinely has 80+ tabs open, this worked excellent for me, but now it's disabled. Hopefully an update comes out that makes it compatible with the newer versions of Chrome. I used it to keep track of how many tabs open (it gave you the number of open tabs in the window - no other tab manager does this!), used it to quickly find, select, or close tabs when I have like 50+ tabs open. I also used it to rearrange tabs easily and quickly. It's crazy how most other tab managers dont have these features and/or have inferior UI. If I knew how to program, I'd take over and update this extension.
Jason Rubenstein 2024-07-05: Tried a few of these, and the only one I liked - Super easy to understand and use right away. - Navigates to the already open tab, rather then opening a new tab with the same origin as the other one. Great job!
Olavi Murto 2024-05-13: + OK design - Moving a tab is cumbersome. You can only move it as far as you see the list when you start holding. You can't hold and scroll, because the new slot where it drops it is left behind. Also holding the tab in the top or bottom edge won't scroll the list. I thing both should be possible, but neither is. - Slow to open - Usually around 80% of website icons are forgotten and not shown. Makes it more difficult to find the tab you're looking for - Search bar should be open and selected when you open the list - Doesn't work with Chrome's Tab Groups - I don't like the fact that hovering over a tab title hides the title and shows the URL, and after 1sec it shows a popup with title and URL. I'd prefer the URL to only show in the popup. But that might be just a preference, so maybe a setting for it? - No dark mode
Samuele gg 2023-06-03: Icona poco visibile sulla barra per chi utilizza temi scuri, assente un contatore di schede sull'icona sulla barra. Ottima estensione e una delle migliori in circolazione, interfaccia ampia con tutte le informazioni in chiaro con apertura di una finestra pop-up; gli aspetti positivi sono molti: loghi visibili dei siti accanto alle schede; visibilità del dominio al passaggio del mouse sopra i titoli; presente il contatore della finestra; 2 modalità di visuale dell'elenco; presente una barra di ricerca, il riordino delle schede (e di eventuali gruppi di schede) in ordine alfabetico (assente la scelta tra crescente/decrescente). Infine presenti i tasti: chiudi scheda, aggiorna e fissa scheda (molto utile). Nel complesso l'estensione è indispensabile. Hardly visible icon for those using dark themes, no tab counter on tray icon. Good extension and one of the best out there, wide interface with all the information in clear text with pop-up window opening; the positive aspects are many: visible logos of the sites next to the tabs; domain visibility on hover over titles; window counter present; 2 list view modes; present a search bar, the reordering of the tabs (and any groups of tabs) in alphabetical order (absent the choice between ascending/descending). Finally present the keys: close tab, refresh and fix tab (very useful). Overall the extension is indispensable.

Facts Machine 2021-12-21: Very clean product. Designed well. Does the job spectacularly. Looks like it is a feature which came with Chrome originally, that's how well it's made. Indispensable.

Ronan 2021-03-19: Great extension. I used it for a long time in fullscreen mode, but in the latest update of Google Chrome there is a similar feature (Ctrl + Shift + A), so the extension is no longer needed.

Rob Roos 2020-01-31: Great extension. I would like to see the possibility to change the name in stead of "Window 1" and so on. Is that possible?

Yuki Da Costa 2019-04-02: It's got intuitive UI which helps me close unimportant tabs quicker and easier. I just wish it had a little longer vertically.

Martin Lichtblau 2019-01-17: Looks great but limited functionality. Dealbreaker: **searches only within the active window!**

Ken Zhang 2018-06-12: Nice extension. One suggestion, when search tabs, press Enter button jump to first result in search result directly would be perfect!

Crieloue Gilles 2018-03-19: Finalement une bonne extension pour gérer les onglets ! Et vraiment très propre. Le seul truc qu'il me manque, c'est le clic du milieu pour fermer les onglets dans la liste.
Barnabé 2018-01-16: Très pratique!
Sune A. 2018-01-03: Doesn't work for me. Only shows the current tab (in a window with 8 tabs) with no options-bar. Sometimes it shows correctly, but there doesn't seem to be any consistency to when it does. 9/10 times it just shows the current tab, which makes it pretty useless. Sad cause the design is nicer than most other tab-extensions. For others with the same problem, Tab manager is similar in function (though not as pretty) and does the job for me.

Ruriko Maiya Kashiwazaki Kusugawa 2017-12-16: Me gustaria que pudiera hacer mas, ordenar por url, ordenar por fecha de apretura o mas reciente, ordenar por mas antiguo, agrupar o mover un grupo de pestañas al principio o al final. Creo que la extension tiene potencial pero no a sido utilizado. Pocas personas creo abren mas de 5 paginas. Pero las personas que se dedican a la busqueda y consulta de informacion tenemos mas de 50 paginas (creo mi limite a sido 180 usando varias ventanas).
M Git 2017-12-06: Very excellent. Many pain-point features in a wonderful UI. Combined with the shortcut to open extension and the quick-type search ability, browsing around tens of tabs is more than smooth and swift. Anyone who encounters must give this fantastic looking extension a chance.

haikubox 2017-10-11: Simply the best tab management extension for Chrome. It has everything: search (with proper keyboard focus capture), ordering and even ability to drag, ping, refresh and close tabs. And all this packed into nice looking UI. Love it.
