Too many tabs open? Create workspaces, put your tabs in there, and switch between them whenever you need. Workspace automatically saves all your tabs whenever you close the window and restores them once you open it again.
You can create a workspace for a particular subject in school, personal project, gift idea, travel plan, or others.
Version 0.7
=========
- New option to keep workspaces sorted by name
- New option to add new workspaces to the top
- Open workspaces are visually marked in the list
- Import & Export
- Better local files handling
- Fixed restoring workspaces in fullscreen mode

- (2025-06-25) Michael Klein: Awesome, just what I needed!
- (2025-05-17) Paramveer: this does the job as it should. 10000/5. No BS, pure gold.
- (2025-02-07) Kamo Sevoyan: Please add a feature to group workspaces, that would be very helpful.
- (2025-01-06) Ryan Ewen: Was okay until a recent Chrome update, and now it duplicates the underlying tab group every time you open a workspace.
- (2024-12-05) JD Bell: It's ok. Workspaces in other browsers (like Edge) are more integrated, allowing (for example) multiple tab groups (or none) in a workspace. This plugin requires one, and only one, tab group, and results in some unexpected behavior if you try to open multiple tab groups (or forget to include a new tab in the existing tab group). Still, it's nice that it remembers the tabs you had open, which frees me up to close the window when I'm not using them.
- (2024-12-04) Shuang Hao: seems no cache between devices. no account
- (2024-08-23) 黄勇: The tabs you put into a workspace are not saved, so after you reopen the browser and try to click on the workspace, you'll find that the workspace is empty... I really don't get the point of this extension.
- (2024-07-11) Ron Beernink: It is disappointing that this feature isn't baked into the Chrome base yet, but so great to have this plug-in instead even if it is too basic. What I am missing is the ability to sync these workspaces across the different devices that I run Google Chrome on with this plug-in. The plug-in should also automatically set the window name to match the workspace name; something that needs to be otherwise done manually by the user.
- (2024-07-08) Lorraine Joubert: If it does not include the option to save a tab group to the workspace it is redundant. Then it is just another form of tabgroups. It is a new(open) window with too many open unorganised tabs. How do I add a tab to a workspace???
- (2024-06-08) Moira Toner: For me, it is easily a 5-star tool. I've been using Beta/Dev versions of tabs for years. I agree, it was a productivity and sanity game-changer from the start. Except... I cut one star because a (very obviously needed) feature is missing, and a second one because it has been missing for so long. Of course it's technically possible...those are resource decisions that I do not make whether you are Google or third party. For everyone else, you need and want Workspaces if you don't need an Active/Inactive Status for an entire Window (Tabs, Groups, and all). I'm not certain when the Tab Search was included (I can easily look at a new feature and not see it); It is a fabulous and very effective addition to sanity management. When I do see or trip over a new feature while I'm working, I click it. If I need info, I'll click or search for details. Here's the down. My core reason for using Tab Groups is active memory. Tab Groups and named Windows are FAB even if they did contribute to my "Tabs Gone Wild" habit, which is now folded into "Windows Gone Wild." Tab Groups seemed to be the solution because once in a while I noticed the inactive>active lag. To that end, the newer feature of showing which tabs are inactive (whited-out favicon with a dotted line around) is very reassuring that help is on the way. It's not here yet. I need a master switch per Window that makes all of the tabs, groups and whatever in that Window inactive. I have "standing" or constant Named Windows for business functions, identities, projects, vendors, Admin...you get the idea. The ability to minimize memory by making some Windows inactive, to make the current Window(s) faster and me more productive, will be a quantum leap forward. And yes, naming windows is largely useless other than when viewing Alt+Tab. That, and it appears to kick in and work beautifully after an update or if I crash. It does not work as expected if I politely close the Window. So, I now trust hard shutdowns only. Now, where was I when I started this...can you give me a hint? Seriously.
- (2024-05-07) Nikola Ivanov: Works well 99% of the time. The other 1%? Well, it loses all tabs inside the workspace. If it happens to be workspace not visited for a long time you're doomed getting your tabs back.
- (2024-04-15) Tyler Andersen: Works. Except when it doesn't. And it doesn't tell you. Chrome is missing the functionality of "Contexts", and this extension seeks to implement it via "Workspaces". First, the Workspaces are really a wrapper around a single window comprised of tabs. You're basically naming a window. There is some initial overhead in naming a window. Be sure to click the button to add the existing tabs (*). Problems: - You can have multiple workspaces with the same name (*) - You might find when you close a workspace and reopen it, SURPRISE, there are no tabs! (*) - Limited set of pre-selected colors available Feature requests: - Nested workspaces. Or workspace groups. Or "Contexts" :) Allows for grouping of windows (workspaces) that can all open at once or can be opened directly. Implemented as nested workspaces in the workspace window - Menu bar access (not just toolbar access) - Quick way to save all windows into workspaces (at least windows not currently in workspaces) (*) These are a bug. I suspect what happens is if you create a workspace, realize you forgot to click the magic button, delete the workspace, then re-create the workspace with the same name, this extension hasn't fully deleted (only hid) the deleted workspace, and when you correctly re-create the workspace, adding windows, the windows get added to a now-hidden workspace, the deleted workspace is instead what shows up in the list. And this is a show-stopping bug. If it weren't for this bug, it would be a 4-star review. The feature requests being implemented would raise it to 5-start. The problem is with data loss being non-deterministic (you have my hypothesis, but it's untested), the extension is non-usable. Bummer, as the competing extension has unfortunate permissions required.
- (2024-04-13) jie yan: It's the final workspace solution on Chrome. I like it. Hope to add a search feature.
- (2024-04-03) Maurice Kraus: Why does a workspace always has to open in a new window? can't we just close the old one and reopen in the same window?
- (2024-04-01) Lori Bryan: Workspaces are a game changer for me. It's so efficient to have a group of tabs open so I can pick up where I left off on a project. This is amazing for someone who has multiple projects going on at one time. I would like to archive a workspace to get it out of my main list, but still have it available if a question comes up about the project.
- (2024-03-19) 8-Bit Amit: It's basically just opening your tabs in a NEW WINDOW and therafter grouping them
- (2024-03-18) lv zhaoyang: A great extension for creating workspace and managing tabs! Thank you for you great work! It's really a useful tool for me! It would be better if I can open the workspace manager on the top left of the chrome, just like what workona does!(Because it is more convenient) Thanks again for your fantastic work!
- (2024-03-08) Felipe Goizueta: Love this! simple, light and really functional, please add shortcuts to change between workspaces!
- (2024-02-26) Martin Polak: Good idea and implementation looks nice, but this breaks tab grouping so not as useful as could be. I absolutely prefer to have tab groups rather than workspaces
- (2024-02-20) Michael Hammond: Total Game Changer! This extension is incredible. Especially for someone who needs to multi-task. In one click you can be designing graphics, then shopping online, Answering e-mails or shift to another task. It is completely customizable for what you need to do on a daily basis. I can't get enough of it. One of the best extensions ever created!
- (2024-01-13) Christian: Very nice feature, helps a lot for having more organization and getting to the tab you're looking for even when you have several of them opened. I suggest you could include bookmarks with workspace scope, it would be very useful, especially when one wants to keep like a personal and a work instance of the browser in separate windows and have some sites for accessing periodically.
- (2024-01-08) Pavel Chubakov: Nice new features for old chrome Thx! 👍🏻
- (2023-12-13) Chongxi Ma: always go wrong, the things I saved to one workspace always lost....
- (2023-10-30) Jordan McGlotten: I don't ever leave reviews on extensions but this is such a necessary tool for those who really need to multitask on chrome. My new favorite extension! Bravo dev team👏

- (2023-03-21) Timongcraft: Want to swap from Opera to Brave but can you add a feature that allows you to open the workspace in the current window so you can just switch the displayed tabs?

- (2023-02-24) Alejandro De La Cruz López: It's perfect to manage the multiple chrome windows we all have. It removes the struggle to find the window you are looking for when changing context. It's so simple and useful that I love it!

- (2023-01-20) Aaron Goselin: Exactly what I wanted. This is very simple and to the point. I normally have at the very least, 50 tabs open at a time. This allows me to organize them and only have the tabs I need at any time open. I can have programing language specific tabs, work tabs, development tracking tabs, etc. all available whenever I want. Nice.

- (2022-12-20) Martin Kováč: I was expecting different behaviour. Workspaces are only in one chome window, it would be much more logical and functionall to create workspaces that include multiple windows with multiple tabs. So you could open whole project with one click. This is pretty much not usable for me.
