Drowning in a Sea of Tabs? Reclaim Your Browser Today!
Are you a researcher, a developer, a student, or just someone who loves to explore the web? If so, you know the struggle. Your browser, once a clean slate, is now a chaotic collection of countless tabs. Finding that one specific page you need—a GitHub repository, a crucial article, a project document—feels like searching for a needle in a digital haystack. The constant switching and searching drains your focus and kills your productivity.
Introducing Tab Extract-n: The Ultimate Tab Organizer
Tab Extract-n is a powerful, lightweight, and intuitive Chrome extension designed to bring order to your tab chaos. With a simple command, you can instantly find all your related tabs and neatly organize them into a dedicated new window, perfectly grouped and named. Stop hunting and start working.
How It Works: Simple, Fast, and Magical
Getting organized has never been easier. Tab Extract-n integrates directly into your workflow via the Chrome address bar (the Omnibox).
Activate: Simply type the keyword ex into your address bar, followed by a space.
Search: Enter your search term. This can be anything—a project name, a website, a topic, a keyword. For example: ex Github or ex project-alpha-specs.
Execute: Press Enter.
That's it! In an instant, Tab Extract-n scans all of your open tabs across all windows. It intelligently finds every tab where the title or the URL contains your search term.
What Happens Next?
Instant Grouping: All matching tabs are instantly moved into a brand-new, focused Chrome window.
Smart Naming: A tab group is automatically created within the new window and named after your search term (e.g., "Github"), so you know exactly what it contains.
Clean Workspace: The default "New Tab" that normally appears in a new window is automatically closed, leaving you with a clean, clutter-free environment containing only the tabs you need for your task.
Key Features:
Omnibox Integration: Works seamlessly from the address bar you already use every day. No extra clicks, no complicated UI.
Case-Insensitive Search: Don't worry about capitalization. Searching for "github" or "GitHub" yields the same perfect results.
Comprehensive Scanning: Searches both the title and the URL of every open tab, ensuring nothing gets missed.
Automatic Window & Group Creation: Focus on your work, not on manual organization. The extension handles all the heavy lifting of creating windows and groups.
Zero-Clutter Workspace: By automatically closing the initial empty tab, it provides an instantly clean and focused environment.
Lightweight & Secure: Built with performance and privacy in mind. It only requires the necessary permissions to manage your tabs and does its job without slowing you down.
Why You'll Love Tab Extract-n
Tab Extract-n is more than just a tool; it's a productivity booster. It's for anyone who needs to quickly switch contexts without losing their place.
Developers: Instantly pull all your GitHub, Stack Overflow, and documentation tabs into one window for a specific project.
Students & Researchers: Gather all your sources, articles, and library pages for a research paper with a single command.

Continuing a Legacy
This extension was born out of a deep appreciation for the original Tab Extract extension. When that beloved tool was no longer supported, it left a void for many users, including myself. Tab Extract-n is a tribute to that original idea, rebuilt from the ground up to restore that simple, powerful functionality. It was created first and foremost so I could keep using the tool I loved, and it's being shared in the hope that others who miss the original can enjoy it too.
Stop letting tab clutter control your workflow. Install Tab Extract-n today and transform your browser from a source of distraction into a powerful, organized tool for productivity.
