Tabalot
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-17.
Limit the maximum number of open tabs
Automatically limit the number of open tabs.
If you end up with too many tabs open, all reduced to a tiny size, this extension will help you keep those tabs under control. After reaching a configurable open tab limit, that excludes pinned tabs, Tabalot will automatically close the oldest unused tab. As you get close to your tab limit, the extension icon badge count will start to turn red and will flash red when it closes a tab.
Note that the tab badge count shows tabs in the current open window only (which seems to be a limitation on chrome) but will correctly update as you switch windows.

Tabalot does not handle personal or sensitive user data.

uh.. wow. dont even give a warning when first install, just lot like 90 tabs... great first impression.. 2nd u need to hav a list of all the tabs that this ext closes. bcif it just closes them and i dont even realize whats been closed is a big problem. fix those and well talk. otherwise uninstall
Super easy to change number of allowed tabs. Function isn't ideal. I hacked it to give an alert rather than randomly close tabs. change this line in the js: // close the leftmost tab that isn't active or the instigator of the last opened tab --unPinnedTabsCount; alert("Over tab limit"); chrome.tabs.query({currentWindow: true, active: true}, function(tab){ // Get the current tab chrome.tabs.remove(tab[0].id); // Remove the tab });
