Description from store ## Tab Keeper 1.4 -------------------------------------------------------------- Too many tabs? Do you have a tab addiction? Tab Keeper automatically closes inactive tabs after designated time. But don't worry, auto-closed tabs are stored safe and sound, and makes it easy to get them back. It will save your computer. Similar to AutoClose Tabs, Auto Close Tabs for Firefox. Icons from Fat Cow / famfam fam.

Help: http://jayaramjinaga.blogspot.in/2015/03/chrome-extension-tab-wrangler-bookmarks_8.html Support: http://jayaramjinaga.blogspot.in/2015/03/chrome-extension-tab-wrangler-bookmarks_8.html ## Features: -------------------------------------------------------------- *The Corral*: Stores tabs which have been auto-closed so you can re-open as required. *Bookmarks*: Can save to Other bookmarks folder in chrome. A new folder called Tab Keeper Bookmarks is created under it. Again under tha folder, recent items are stored in Current folder, and older items are archived based on max tabs setting, to History folder within different timestamp folders, each containing previous sets of archived tabs. *Sync*: Chrome sync saves settings and data between computers. *Highly Configurable*: Pick how long a tab should be considered ready to close, how many tabs should be open at a minimum, how many tabs to store, and whether to store in bookmarks. *Exclude list*: Provide the urls or domain names of the sites you never want auto-closed. *Tab Lock*: Pick open tabs to "lock". Locked tabs will not be auto-closed. *Smart*: Doesn't auto close pinned tabs, doesn't close all your tabs, just enough to make your browser usable. Notice: Doesn't save the state of the page. It's just like history, when the page is closed, anything you were doing with it is gone. I recommend the lazarus extension if this is a problem for you. If you re-open it, it will be a fresh page. Please stop giving bad reviews for impossible features or intentional functionality please. File an issue on github if you want it changed or fork and upload a patch. Thanks! ## Usage / Installation -------------------------------------------------------------- * Install the extension * Click on the icon next to the URL bar. * Tab Corral * Stores tabs which have been auto-closed. * Tab Lock * Selectively lock tabs which you want to stay open * Options * White-list certain URLs to never be closed. * Set the # of minutes to wait before closing an inactive tab. * Set the ideal # of tabs to have in your browser. ## Todo: -------------------------------------------------------------- * Pause the auto-close behavior if the browser has been idle ## Release Notes: -------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4 Release Date: Sunday, March 15, 2015 Bug: Duplicate Tab Coral issue fixed. 1.0 Release Date: Sunday, March 08, 2015 Enhancement: Option to save closed tabs in bookmarks. Bug: White-list regular expression is working now.

(2023-01-25) Rocky: Don't waste your time on this as it is utterly useless. Like most Tab extensions, Tab Keeper fails to deliver on what it claims. For example, it does not save windows, each one containing multiple tabs. As a result of using, I had to pianstakingly go through my Chrome history to restore many tabs that Tab Keeper failed to store. Tab Keeper is severely crippled by its failure to record tab history, since it `only' stores 1 or 2 days worth. UPDATE: I removed it since it fails to record all tabs. Useless.
(2022-05-01) Noah Kahn: Game-changer, love it so far. Very helpful in avoiding getting swept away by distractions and starting computer work off with intention rather then whatever shiny webpage I happen to have open.
(2022-04-02) Denis Cowley: Does not work on Chrome OS build 99.0.4844.94
(2021-09-15) sethu sriram: it was really gooood my bro deleted mi tabs but,i could get them back by restoring them thank :)
(2020-09-29) Philippe Buch: I love it! Very useful extension. Allows me to surf and explore the internet without ever worrying about tabs overcharging my CPU or RAM. I just browse and set my personal variables (after how much minutes the tab should auto-close or how many closed tabs should be kept, etc.) and surf away into the wild world wide web! Thanks to the developer!
(2020-07-25) Sgt. Nukem: *WARNING* THIS EXTENSION WILL DELETE DATA!!! I would rate it 'zero stars' if I could. Most of my precious tabs have been deleted now - not possible to get them back anymore! It only remembered around 100 from my 4 open browser windows, but removed more and more and counting. An extension I installed to support me betrayed me purposely. It is like ransomware that makes your data unusable. Just for tabs. I feel wasted and abused.
(2020-04-15) Guðjón Ó. Eiríksson: Has everything I need but auto-closing pinned tabs! All my tabs are pinned (aesthetic reasons) so I need an extension that also automatically closes pinned tabs.
(2019-11-26) Pjotr: Love it i always have 2500000 pages on and now i always have 1 or 2
(2019-08-19) Swetabja Hazra: This extension is dope. Improves productivity to a great extent. Can you please add an additional feature. I want a tab to be force closed even when I'm working on it, at a given timer. This is so that I can read that article as fast as possible without procrastinating.
(2019-06-11) - Shalev611: amazing
(2019-02-20) Chris Paetz: Best extension ever, way better than snoozing or dozing tabs, just close them! Awesome! Changed my life! Thank you!
(2019-01-09) Peer Linder: Tabs are restored all into the main window, what is really annoying when working with multiple screens. Otherwise does what it's supposed to do.
(2018-10-12) Cassandra Maclachlan: This is exactly what I have been looking for. Whether I am researching for an essay or shopping for clothes, I have a habit of opening too many tabs and abandoning them – only to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of tabs later! I have a very limited working memory so this does the work of automatically discarding tabs that I don't need. Clean and painless! Many thanks.
(2018-05-02) Павел Лёлин: а слабо сделать историю, которая бы не удалялась в результате ошибочных действий, чтобы можно было восстановить информацию?
(2017-08-21) T. Fortin: Tab Keeper - Get this extension!! Perfect, often I open tabs with intention of reading later. If I run out of time, this extension takes care of them for me. Closing tabs and adding to list to re-open when I want. Automatically removed from list when re-opened. Use this as a temporary bookmark keeper. Fantastic extension, well done.
(2017-05-07) Vesa Tamminen: I really like this extension, but timer start always from start - again - if you check tabs from extension menu, plus sometimes it works (closing tabs), sometimes it doesn't do anything.... but unlike many, i don't give 1 star, because there can be some kind of weird conflict with other extensions, or maybe developer can check, if there is a bug
(2017-02-28) Raja K: Awesome useful extension. Hope i should have found it sooner. Never late. Thanks for this.
(2017-02-16) ORGaniZM niZMo: Который раз убеждаюсь, что хромой реально хромой и плагины для него такие же. Ну, разве нельзя восстановить вкладки в том же порядке, в каком они и были до этого?
(2016-12-07) Sillas Leal: Very good extencion
(2016-07-28) Erin Sheridan: I love this thing. It has changed my browsing life.
(2015-12-02) Azizul Yusof: Why didn't i found this extension sooner? Tab Keeper is a magical extension for someone that having a hard time closing tabs, like me :) It will auto close your unused tabs and save it for your use later. I wish there's a keyboard shortcut to closed and save the tabs. Right click menu is good but shortcut would help a lot. Or there's one?
(2015-04-27) SW Vinyl: Love this very useful! Thank you
