NOTE TF has been updated to Manifest V3 --- please report any issues at https://github.com/cxw42/TabFern/issues . As always, back up early and often! Thanks!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

TabFern organizes your browsing life. It shows all your open windows and tabs in one place, for immediate access. With one click, you can close a window, and then bring it back any time with one more click. With two clicks, you can backup all those URLs to a text file, or restore a backup. No need to login to copy browsing sessions between computers! With TabFern, switching between projects is a breeze, and you can leave a task behind without worrying about losing the pages. TabFern is perfect for researchers, the perpetually curious, and anyone who winds up with way too many tabs open at once!

TabFern is under active development, so please do not hesitate to report bugs or provide feedback via GitHub. TabFern is offered AS-IS, and with NO WARRANTY — see the license on the Web site for full details. However, the primary author uses TabFern almost 365 days a year, so bug reports should receive a quick response :) . If you would like to contribute to TabFern's development, feel free — we welcome pull requests and would be happy to help you get started.

Permissions: The "Read your browsing history" permission permits TabFern to access the URLs and titles of pages you visit, so that it can help you manage your tabs. TabFern stores that data only on your computer, and does not send it anywhere.

Fantastic replacement for TabsOutliner. In some ways better because it's so simple. A few features that just need fine tuning. Some sort of timed backup would be good (once a day?). And when the backup is restored it potentially duplicates everything (adds to, does not overwrite - which has its benefits of course) so some sort of selective restore would be good to only restore specific tab groups. But overall, it's perfectly usable as-is and superb copy of the original super lightweight GUI started by TabsOutliner. All of the alternatives are just too bloated. Simple is good. It's 5 stars from me.

When delete tabs from TabFern tree, it moves to the beginning of the tree after each deleting. Annoying, especially when a tree is huge so it doesn't fit a window. Please, fix.

Пока все заявленные и необходимые функции работают превосходно. Само дополнение красиво, удобно в работе- даже окно со списком вкладок можно растягивать и сжимать. Автор молодец!

Minhas guias e janelas, simplesmente, desapareceram. Perdi todas, com esta extensão.

I would really love to try this. Unfortunately nothing happens when clicking the extension icon...Not even if I right click and open it from that menu. In fact, I cant even get the extensions options to load! just says loading... what gives?

I use this extension many times every day. It is a natural for organizing readings and projects, and it is indispensable for computer memory management. I have worked with most of the tab/bookmark knowledge-management extensions, and this is the one I keep coming back to.

if only it could move with chromes UI and open / close with it then I'd use it.

When trying to restore a backup of a lot of tabs they all will be loaded in memory and make Chrome crash, unlike recently closed that loads them suspended and doesn't have this problem.

5 stars for being the best open source alternative to TO, which btw is not really maintained anymore.
