Intuitive tab management

Description from store
Spaces is a workspace manager for chrome. It treats each chrome window like a different workspace and lets you name and save each space. You can close a window full of tabs at any time then reopen it later and continue exactly where you left off.
Spaces keeps track of new tabs opened in each workspace and also tabs that you close. It also allows you to quickly move a tab that you are currently viewing into any other space - whether it's open or closed. Great for when you find yourself opening a tab out of context with what you are currently working on and want to come back to it later.
Spaces was developed to help users that tend to have way too many tabs open in a chrome window. It encourages you to move tabs that are not immediately relevant into a different, more appropriate space - thus removing it from your current window. This keeps your chrome session manageable - both visually and from a memory perspective.
Isn't this essentially just bookmarks with folders? Yeah, pretty much - but who uses bookmarks?

- (2022-10-18) Brittany Drury: I love the Spaces extension, but it's a pain to transfer all of the links manually when I upgrade to a new computer. Is there a method to export the saved linked in Spaces so they can automatically appear in the Spaces extension of my new computer? Someone below mentioned doing so, but I haven't been able to find the steps to do so online anywhere. PLEASE HELP!

- (2022-01-21) Simon Rasmussen: Extension is good when it is working But be careful. I lost all my links - hundreds of stored links - with no warning and so far no explanation from the developers.

- (2021-05-25) Albert Gouws: Loving the extension. Now that you can name Chrome Windows, I'd love if there is an option in Spaces to rename my Chrome windows to that of my current space name.

- (2021-04-08) Chris Akans: It is aesthetically pleasing and has primary functionality developed, 'ok'. I immediately became frustrated when I created "spaces" using a bunch of open windows I had, tested, then tried to modify tabs included in some "spaces". Appears there is no option to do this. No available "help" or "support" guides, no "management" menu options for the extension. Cool idea - cannot use this extension. Recommend Cluster as a more robust alternative.
- (2021-04-03) Jason Burns: edited April 2021: Still loving 'spaces'. almost zero issues now by using spaces with the extension 'The Marvellous Suspender'(TMS) which minimises memory use by suspending unused tabs after a certain time. without TMS, opening a spaces window could possibly open too many tabs which cause memory issues. especially if youre like me and you may be opening 50+ tabs. This is NOT a spaces issue, but a chrome issue. now fixed with the TMS app. spaces and TMS = a perfect combination. original review: With the 2019 update, this is an excellent extension that has allowed me to truly organise the multiple projects/interests I work on. Its great to be able to save a bunch of web pages, be able to close them, and open them again anytime i'm ready. handy option: (fixed with my april 2021 review edit)Would be handy when opening a space that all the tabs don't all load at once though as it can drain the network a bit. Not a massive issue although i do have several spaces where i have 30+ tabs saved. Perhaps the option to load the tab when clicking on it or bringing it into focus? handy option: When working on multiple monitors the 'Manage Spaces' window nearly always opens on a monitor other than the one that im working on. Would be better if it opened on the same monitor where i click on the manage spaces option. a little testing showed it always opens on the 'top and left monitor'. I have arrangements on several pcs with 2, 3 and 4 monitors. (edit april 2021) i see thats probabaly asking too much handy option: move multiple tabs at once to another space bug(with work around): (april 2021 review shows this is a simple chrome memory issue. NOT a spaces issue. just use the app TMS and its fixed) In the first few days of using this extension, i had the whole computer freeze and the fan going to maximum speed(indicating the cpu was max'd out) two times each, on two separate computers. The power button/reset the only way out of this even after leaving one of the pcs for 30mins to try and sort itself out. It happened only when i was moving tabs from one space to another. There were several 'unnamed' spaces at the time, and i was moving a tab from one unnamed space to another unnamed space. Ive since named every new tab BEFORE attempting to move tabs between spaces and the problem hasn't re-occured. Its worked flawlessly since ive done this. keep up the good work!

- (2020-10-09) Gerard Meszaros: Great Idea. Too bad it doesn't work. Cannot find any documentation. DOesn't appear in the toolbar. Finally found the separate Spaces window. Tried to edit the name of one of the spaces. Pencil icon changes name to an input field but it disappears within 1-2 seconds and anything typed into it is ignored.

- (2020-10-01) Rosalyn Darcy: I've been a heavy user of Spaces for well over a year. I'm learning new efficiencies with this tool with practice. Thank you for this invaluable tool. Enhancement Requests: 1) All closed spaces windows continue to use memory as the app remembers all of the tabs in closed Spaces windows. Would be better to just store the URLs for the tabs of closed windows, like in the export, rather than keeping them alive in the background. 2) I have separate computers at home and office, and move between them. While portable by exporting Spaces, then importing them on another machine, it would be much more helpful to have the Spaces data stored in the cloud, perhaps as part of the Chrome profile, so it can automatically update any machine worked on. 3)A search feature on Spaces Management would be very nice. I've been using "Find" in the browser window to locate my windows, but an integrated search would be more efficient.

- (2020-09-12) Texas NightOwl: To name a window you have to click the edit name icon, quickly type a letter and hit enter. You have about a quarter of a second after entering a character to hit enter for it to take. You then have to repeat this process for each character of the name and it takes 4 to 7 attempts to enter each character. So to name a window Shopping, it takes about 40 attempts to get it done. Only good thing is I keep the same set of windows open all the time. Still haven't checked to see if this has to be done everytime Chrome is restarted.

- (2020-08-01) Michael G Stauffer: Simple and very effective. It makes using chrome easier and cleaner every day for me, with all the windows I have open dedicated to different projects. I love how quick it is to open a saved window using the hot key, and to name and save new windows. Only issue is that when I reopen a window it's very very wide and I can't figure out a way to change that.

- (2020-07-04) Szymon Jastrzębowski: It is my favorite extension. If you have always open the tens of the tabs then this extension is for you. You can add the name of the web browser window, close it and all tabs will be saved. When you would like to continue work on the particular task then just open the "Space" and all tabs which you need will be restored. Now instead of 10 windows with tens of tabs I have open one - two on which I currently working.
