- (2025-08-18) Marc Mifsud Saydon: Finally, a tab manager that actually searches inside tab content, not just titles. I can pull up old articles instantly, even when I’ve got 50+ tabs open. The smart organization and privacy-first design make it way better than anything else I’ve tried. Easily the best Chrome extension for managing tabs.
- (2025-08-18) slava: As someone who regularly has 50+ tabs open (research, coding docs, and half-written articles), SmartTab has been a complete game-changer. Here's why it stands out: The full-text search inside tab content is revolutionary. I can't count how many times I've vaguely remembered a snippet from an article ("something about React hooks performance") and found it instantly when other managers failed. It searches like my brain works!
- (2025-08-18) Sanjhai Prakash B: SmartTab is a game-changer for anyone who juggles too many tabs. The full-text search inside tab content is incredibly powerful - I can finally find articles and docs without trying to remember exact titles. The instant popup and lightning-fast search make it seamless to use, and the tab organization features (folders, auto-grouping, duplicate finder) keep everything tidy. I also love that all data stays private and local. If you’re a researcher, student, or just someone with 30+ tabs open, this extension is a must-have.
- (2025-08-18) Vidur Saini: SmartTab puts the Chrome tab management to shame. I have no idea how I existed without it for so long. Congrats to the dev for building this

- (2025-08-14) shila manik: I have tried quite a few tab managers over the years, but SmartTab is the first one that feels truly practical. The interface is clean and quick; no lag, no bloated features I will never use. Everything is organized in collapsible folders by domain, which makes finding the right tab a breeze. I can sort A-Z or by most recent, and the search works instantly across all open and closed tabs. I really like that it runs entirely locally without sending my browsing data anywhere which is a huge plus for privacy. The history feature is especially handy because it keeps track of visited pages in a way that’s far easier to navigate than Chrome’s default history. Being able to quickly favorite important tabs is another small detail that saves me time every day. Overall, SmartTab just works the way I expect a tab manager to work. Fast, lightweight, and focused on the essentials. If you deal with lots of tabs daily, this is one extension you’ll actually keep using.
