Description from store
Tabius is a customizable and easy to use Tab Grouping assistant for Chrome. It is also open source!
If you use tab grouping or couldn't use it due to lack of options, Tabius is a must have extension for you.
The extension is packed with useful features like:
✔️ Automatically create new tab groups when you open a link in a new tab.
✔️ Auto Collapse inactive tab groups.
✔️ Limit the browser to only create groups if the new tab matches the original tab's domain.
✔️ Create custom tab grouping rules: always create tab groups with a specific name and color from your favorite websites!
✔️ Save your favorite tab groups and restore them for later use!
✔️ Don't want to create tab groups from a specific site? Create a blacklist from the settings or add the site to the blacklist right from the toolbar!
✔️ Option to close an existing tab group when there is only 1 tab left in it.
✔️ Limit maximum number of tabs allowed in a group.
✔️ Automatically name tab groups based on domain/subdomain or the full URL.
✔️ View current tab groups and act upon them by clicking on the extension icon right from the toolbar.
✔️ Sync all your settings, tab groups, and custom lists with browser.
✔️ ..and many more features.
I created this extension from my need. I use tab groups all the time and the extension helps enhance this feature.
If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to email me: [email protected].
This extension is made with ❤️ in Munich.

- Used to be a 5 star in my eyes. But for some reason now, whenever I group tabs on Brave and close the browser, the tab group is deleted and the tabs are no longer grouped even after clicking Save Group. This destroys the purpose of the extension, as having to re-group my tabs every time I open the browser is extremely cumbersome. Edit: As of 11/14/2024, changed from 2 stars to 4. Will monitor for some time and notify if problems return.
- Jonas Fuchß
- Does what it's supposed to, without any problems. 10/10, would recommend.
- Nicholas Cheung
- Love the extension but I wonder if you're adding new features. Normally I press CTRL + T to open a new tab and these tabs are not automatically grouped. It's quick confusing to me.
- Alperen Derin
- When I search for a phrase on Google and open a new window, I want the group name to be the phrase I searched on Google. Because of this, I want to be able to set regex rules to set group names.
- Brad Smithart
- Excellent extension! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this. It would be nice if it remembered which groups were expanded or collapsed between sessions.
- Sami Bouakel
- exactly what need, an improved ui and new icon will be an amazing bonus .thank for the extention
- Ziyi Guo
- Finally an extension for me who missed the IE8 Tab Group coloring behaviour. My only feature request is a threshold for the auto-collapse function, such as only collapse other groups when there are more than N tabs in total.
- João Pedro Lopes
- This is incredibly useful! Thank you!
- Georg Schulz
- Extension doesn't work Edit: I need to correct myself, this extension doesn't work with "New Tab", it's working perfectly fine with a normal website.
- Magnus Alexander Strømseng
- Just what i was looking for!
- Torfeh Marc
- Lifesaving. I just saved myself of the horror of some 7 folders with over 50 tabs open in total.
- M Kříž
- exactly the same behavior as vivaldi tabstacks, love it!
- Telstra Roenssel
- looks very good but is there no way to add custom rules not by domain but some keywords in tab title? frankly, group by only domain is really limited, it is not like we use youtube to search only 1 topic been looking for that one feature in so many extensions, there were 1 but it doesnt do a thing on my main browser vivaldi browser i am trying to make auto group tabbing by "work1" "work2" "game1" "game2" "game3" "game4" "galleryDL" "vtuber" and so on lets say game1 is arknights, so i want to auto group tabs with any of these keyword in its tab title "ak" "Arknight" "arknights" "operator" even better if we can add custom rule that can reject tabs if they also contain "xxx" keyword or is from "yyyy" domain too
- Muhammad Ajaz
- Nice its like the opera browser i use brave browser
- Kristoffer Culannay
- Can you add "moving out a tab from a group" as an event, so when only one tab left in the group, the group will be immediately removed. I have this specific request but might be complex. I hope groups can be automatically named after the query from the parent tab URL. I thought that was how the Custom Rules work. For example, "https://sunrun.my.salesforce.com/ui/search/%s", where the query takes place at "%s". Tab color, if possible, can be determined by the color close to the favicon of parent tab. Anyway nice extension!
- Welp Halp
- Great extension! It would be nice to have a setting for a minimum number of tabs before they start to get grouped. Quite frequently, I have around 1 tab opened in a new link (from the original tab), and with this extension, those 2 tabs immediately become a new group. And when I've done this a few other times, with different other tabs, the grouping creates a more cluttery UI. So a setting like adjusting the minimum number of tabs to 3 or 4, before the grouping begins would be really handy. Amazing extension though, and nice website too!

- Ari Nava (emergingsea)
- Good, but I would like if I could minimize the group instead of closing it and then re-opening it. it makes it so if I have multiple groups I want to use and then close it will only open the last one I closed

- Nice extension but not the best on the store. The order of groups displayed isn't the same as in the browser. From the extension window you can only open, minimise or close groups - other extensions allow moving to windows. Ideally we'd be able to move multiple tabs between groups in this window. FInally when I disabled this extension I got a adware popup for Super Agent So even though this is open source, I think there's some commercial connections going on for the dev

- Sina Boromand
- Its perfect bro Nice job Also i wish you could add some more flavor to it Requested Feature: If there is at least X number of tabs with same domain then group them , not start grouping tabs by one or two instances. Eg: User can set minmium of 3 tabs (or X custom number) then if the rules matched then group them. Thanks you Wish you the bests

- Incredible extension. I tried other auto grouping extensions such as Mark Tab Manager, but my browser became a mess as it tried to group already opened tabs and windows, and it did not play well with The Marvellous Suspender, which is a must have for me to reduce my memory footprint since I open LOTS of tabs. With Tabius, it's a totally different beast! The philosophy is very different, it groups tabs not by domain even though it says so in the configuration screen, but also temporally. An example: let's say you are on reddit, you are looking for open-source replacement softwares on Android, and you open lots of links to various softwares. All these tabs will be grouped together under a tab called "reddit" (which name you can change of course!). Although the group name does not reflect the content of the group, it reflects the provenance, the tabs are thematically grouped, so once you enter this group, you will fast remember what all the other tabs in this group are about! These groups are very useful to reorganize my browser windows and workflow, because you can drag and drop groups to make new windows, which you can then stash away and close to free up memory either into bookmarks or using other extensions such as Link Map (my current workflow), Tab Session Manager, Tabli or BrainTool. And this extension only groups NEW tabs, not old ones, so your current tabs are safe, you can safely try this extension! And not least, Tabius (v2) is open-source! Many kudos to the dev, this is an amazing tool. I am a very heavy tabs and windows users (I can have up to 1000 tabs open at once over 20 different windows!), it's one of the best tab management tools I ever had along with Link Map (alternative to Tabs Outliner) and Tab Session Manager, Tabius has become one of my essential extensions!

- Nil Desperandum
- Thx but we can't backup our tabs. There is not an option to do that !! What we will do if we delete our browser and reinstall it?! All tabs would be gone !!!!!

- Need of the hour ! :-) But just a small issue. Clicking on save this tab group is creating duplicates.
- mannar mani
- Just awesome. This is the extension I was looking for so long. The best alternate for Tab Tree which is available only in firefox. With vertical tab enable, this works just flawlessly. Highly recommended.

- Perfect extension which re-implements the removed tab-groups-auto-create flag, and then some.

- Fantastica interfaccia, molto utile per espandere e collassare tutti (o determinati) gruppi di schede colorati, salvare gruppi di schede preferiti, rimuovere la scheda da un gruppo con un pulsante, visualizzare il contatore delle schede di ogni gruppo e la chiusura di ogni singolo gruppo, ottimo lavoro! Awesome interface, very useful for expanding and collapsing all (or certain) colored tab groups, saving favorite tab groups, removing tab from a group with a button, viewing the tab counter of each group and closing each individual group , good job!

- Only works when you create a new tab via a link on a web page. Extension ignores existing tab groups, even ones that follow the same naming scheme, as well as all single tabs or old groups you got from restoring a session etc. If you start a fresh browser session every time w/o any restored tabs then the limited functionality is kinda sufficient, but then again, ppl who want a tab (group) manager don't usually fall into that category. The fact that Tabious does un-group single tabs again is a feature most other tab group managers lack, so yay for that. Same goes for the option to group parent and child tabs from different domains together. Very cool. An additional 'Auto collapse' option would immediately make this extension twice as useful, tho. Unfortunately the pop-menu is rather limited in its functionality. Without the ability to re-name groups from within the menu - you can't even expand the groups in the menu to see what tabs they contain - it's practically useless actually. You don't need a fancy pop-up to collapse a tab group manually. Locating the Tabious icon in the tool bar, clicking it, locating the group in the list, guessing which of the unlabeled icons does the desired task ... it takes five times as long to use those alibi functions than to simply double click the offending group label directly. TL:DR Add 'Auto Collapse', add actually useful functions to the menu, make the extension handle more than just newly created tabs ... then this could be The tab group manager to install. As it stands now there are more feature complete alternatives in the store. I'll deactivate Tabious but leave it installed for a while longer, maybe the next update's gonna flip my world on it's head.

- I love this this so much, but could you make it works with the suspended extensions, the blacklist only allow http protocol, but the suspended extensions used the extension:// or chrome-extension:// protocol.

- Thank you for the useful extension! I would prefer if there's a shortcut to collapses all other groups, but also moves the current active group to be the right most group

- It'd be really nice if "Pin tab group" was disabled for these automatically created groups...
