A simple & lightweight tool to reduce tab clutter, using just the address bar.
● Too many disorganized tabs open?
● Slow to find the tab you're looking for?
● Want to reduce tab and window clutter quickly?
Tab Extract helps you easily re-organize your tabs according to the subject or site,
or quickly find a tab, or easily remove multiple tabs.
How it works:
Tab Extract will move all tabs from any window with a keyword match (in their URL or page title), into a new window.
To use, type "ex" followed by a tab/space into the address bar, then enter keywords.
✓ "ex facebook news"
will extract all facebook tabs and any tab with "news" or "facebook" in their title or URL, into a new window.
✓ "ex ."
merges all tabs into the same window. This works because all URLs have a "." in them.
✓ Batch-remove tabs by extracting tabs to a new window using Tab Extract, and then closing the window.
✓ Tab Extract can merge tabs from across different windows into the same window by using a common keyword amongst the tabs.
Notes: There is no need to select anything in the auto complete box, just press enter.
If your Chrome has saved some "ex <keyword>" as a search term for autocomplete, clear your history.

- (2023-12-09) COW KING (THE COW KING): great app! one of the best
- (2023-11-10) Gage Adrian: Works perfectly. Absolutely genius. Edit: Unfortunately not working on Brave browser as of Oct 2023. Still works amazingly on other chromium as far as I can tell.
- (2023-06-11) David Lane: Quite frankly all I ever wanted in life .... well in a life with tabs that is.
- (2023-04-11) Google Store: It probably is Chrome's fault, but when I want to extract, e.g., all wikipedia tabs, it barely extracts half of them (say 100 out of 250) and on the next take only 3, the next take another 3.... so it seems to ignore the so-called sleeping tabs, hence it loses its appeal, because it's faster to copy tabs manually, tab by tab, than to extract three to a new window and then use another extension to export the tabs. Any way to address the presumably sleeping-tabs issue?
- (2021-12-10) Cecil Mathew: Good extension, has been very useful. Have been using it for years on Chrome. I just started using it on Edge in the last couple month. I just noticed it won't grab all the tabs with the domain I typed. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact hat Edge puts the tab to sleep?
- (2021-04-05) a13ph (a13ph): Does one thing well, for a decade already.
- (2018-08-23) E s: This is the first extension I always install - whether I'm setting up a computer for me or someone else. Very powerful yet simple and lightweight, this is the functionality that should be built into chrome. Thanks for developing it!
- (2018-08-14) Samuel Brasington: very nice extension. I am a developer and constantly have searches for dev technologies, and great to be able to group tabs by technology
- (2018-06-28) Justin Reinhart: This is probably my favorite chrome extension. I've never had a complaint. Simple brilliance.
- (2018-06-10) Hyperion Marshall: I use Tab Extract several times a day. I consider it essential. The only hitch is when a tab is not fully loaded - but this is not Tab Extract's fault - and when you're typing in your keyword, it will tell you in real time how many tabs fit into search criteria. Most of the time I do not even have to type in an entire word - just enough to differentiate, but on occasion adding the .com (or whatever) helps. One of the very best and hassle-free Extensions Chrome offers.
- (2018-05-22) whole product: ujjhhh
- (2017-11-27) DF José: a ideia é boa!!! mas pode ser aprimorado com mais funçoes!!! poderiamos separar as abas q queremos extrair atraves clicks sobre elas na barra guias e extrailas em uma nova janelas!!! varias de uma vez ou de uma em uma ate formar uma nova janela com as abas que queremos dentro dela!!!
- (2017-05-17) Cindy Lai: I have > 100 tabs open all the time, hence I could never find the tab I need. With this plugin I can finally clean up my tabs in an efficient way! this plugin is fast too!
- (2016-12-30) Nirut Tamchoo: EASY & WORKS !!! FANTASTIC !!!
- (2016-03-05) I like ex a lot as it helps me organize all the tabs that are opened by bug trackers that I use. A feature I would like to see is the ability to remove duplicate tabs. It would also be neat if I could define shortcuts to common ex operations as I otherwise have to copy/paste the base art of urls for the tabs I want to merge., for example, all google docs into one window, all bugtracker tickets into a window.
- (2016-03-01) Tim: It's amazing. You can move all Google search tabs from different windows into a new window quickly and close them all at once to free memory. Try ex tab q=
- (2015-11-09) Francis York Morgan: Fantastic.
- (2015-09-12) Najwa Laylah: Just installed and already like it. If it has no annoying quirks after a week, I will give it five stars. It does something that seems missing from TooManyTabs for Chrome and will complement it.
- (2015-02-25) Christoph Wagner: Fantastic. Just what I was looking for. Completely unobstrusive UI, no extra button cluttering up my toolbar. Very flexible with the filtering. Great for power users.
- (2015-01-21) Marcel Partap: small but useful. could use a "goto" keyword.
- (2014-09-09) Rayna Kuzio: Easy to figure out...I've been using it, and organizing my junk doesn't seem as daunting! 100% a KEEPER
- (2014-08-25) I like to pull apart tabs and put them back together with the "ex ." shortcut in the omnibar.
- (2014-07-17) x Sass: Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks Google search results & TabEx developer(s)! :D I predict this is going to save me clicking through blank squished tabs many a time more!
- (2014-03-05) Marlon Bong: Does one feature and does it well! Love it.
- (2014-02-28) Sami Haahtinen: Wow, after searching high and low for a proper extension manager, this finally popped up on my radar. Exactly what I needed. And best of all, works without ever leaving the keyboard.
- (2013-12-31) Alex Lee: Wish it did pinned tabs as well.
- (2013-05-07) Garrett Winters: Wonderful and useful...however, there's one issue...sometimes, when I use the command, it starts opening tons of windows with nothing in them before actually doing what it is supposed to do. All these windows do close, and a window does open that has the tabs I extracted, so it does work, but when it makes thousands of windows open it makes me panic slightly...do you know why it does this sometimes?
- (2013-03-10) Riaz Ali: Very useful once you get the hang of it. Using 'ex .' is a great tip.
- (2013-02-08) Jerry Rapp: It is a very useful extension if you have a lot of tabs open. However I would like to have an option to not grab pages that i have set as "applications" via chrome (tools/create application shortcut).
- (2013-02-05) Jon Smithers: Quite handy! I wonder of regex would be a practical addition...
