Both promise to fix a full tab strip on Firefox, and they do it in opposite ways. OneTab closes every tab and replaces them with a list. Simple Tab Groups keeps every tab running and hides the ones you are not using, through a Firefox-only API Chrome does not have. Compared on memory, switching windows, and what survives a browser restart.

Both take a snapshot of every open window so a crash cannot cost you your tabs. Session Buddy is a polished, Chrome-only, closed app with a million users. Tab Session Manager is open source, runs on Firefox and Edge too, lets you set the auto-save interval, and can sync through your own Google Drive. Compared on storage, automation, what you can read, and how each one came through the Manifest V3 cutover.

Manifest V3 is three changes, not a hundred. Background pages became service workers that sleep after thirty seconds. The blocking network API became a rules list with a fixed ceiling, which is why the full uBlock Origin no longer runs on Chrome. And extensions can no longer load code from the web. Here is which of your extensions each change touches, and what Firefox, Brave and Edge decided to do instead.

Chrome shows you warnings, not permissions, and the two are different lists. More than forty permissions produce no line at all, one permission can hide another's line entirely, and the most alarming sentence in the box usually comes from the most ordinary thing an extension can ask for. Including our own extension's list, where eight of the thirteen permissions never reach the box.

Firefox shipped vertical tabs, tab groups, split view, local AI grouping and built-in Containers in eighteen months, and leaves nearly all of it switched off. Including the tab unloading that only runs on Windows, and the one thing Firefox still has no answer for.

Chrome frees memory in process-sized units, not tab-sized ones. Chromium's source says which of your tabs share a process, the six things that keep one running after you close its tab, and why your Task Manager will not show the drop either way.

Google describes the three Memory Saver levels as "a longer period of time" and never says how long. Chromium's source does: 6 hours, 4 hours, 2 hours, plus three more gates most tabs never pass.

A tab manager saves and restores your open tabs so you can close them without losing anything. Here are the four categories that exist, what each one is actually for, and how to choose without installing five of them first.

Six tab managers compared on what actually matters: where your data lives, whether an account is required, how you get your tabs back out, and who each one suits. Including where OneTab is still the right answer.

Toby turns tabs into a visual workspace. OneTab crushes them into a list. Compared on data model, sync, privacy, speed, pricing and data loss risk, including where we tell you to use Toby instead of our own extension.

How to tell whether an extension actually stores your data locally, which permissions deserve a second look, and what the store listings do and do not tell you.

A single debugging session legitimately opens fifteen tabs, so the count is not the bug. The fix is session boundaries: a three-tab ceiling per task, a save before every context switch, and a dev profile with no path to Twitter.

A profile per client, three windows split between active work, reference and communication, and a shutdown routine that actually ends the day. Includes a paid placement from MoreLogin, marked in its own section.

What Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Opera, Safari and Zen each give you for handling tabs, sourced and dated. Including Chrome's vertical tabs landing in April 2026, the Collections feature Edge deleted in June, and why Arc is now a warning rather than a pick.

Eleven extensions checked against their live store listings in August 2026, with the browsers each one actually runs on. Including which ad blocker works on Chrome now that uBlock Origin cannot, and which entry on this list went paid-only in March.

One window per project, native tab groups, scheduled resets, GTD, Kanban, saved sessions and PARA, rated by what each costs to maintain on a bad week. Two of the seven are not worth setting up.
