Arc-style vertical tabs for Chrome. Smart switching, workspaces, immersive mode. No duplicate tabs. Privacy-first. If your browser looks like this right now: • 47 tabs open • 6 GitHub tabs • 3 Figma files • 4 Gmail instances (why??) …Tabwise is for you. Tabwise brings Arc Browser’s vertical tab experience to Chrome, Brave, Edge, and AI browsers like Comet, Atlas, and Dia: a clean side panel with Favorites, Workspaces, Smart Tab Switching, and true Immersive Browsing. Not affiliated with Arc Browser or The Browser Company. This is an independent extension inspired by a workflow many people love. 😫 The problem Horizontal tabs don’t scale. After 10–15 tabs: • You can’t read tab titles (favicon roulette begins) • You open duplicates by accident • Context switching between work/personal/projects becomes chaos • Browser chrome is always visible—no escape from the clutter Bookmarks don’t help either—they always open a new tab instead of focusing the existing one. ✅ The solution: Tabwise A vertical tab manager that behaves like a workspace—with the option to disappear completely when you need to focus. 🚀 Key features ⚡ Smart Tab Switching (no more duplicates) Click Gmail → Tabwise focuses your existing Gmail tab. Click again → stays on that tab. Not a new one. No more “Gmail tab #5” situation. Shift+Click = force open a new tab when you actually want a second instance. ⭐ Favorites Grid (Arc-style) Your most-used sites in a clean 4-column favicon grid. • One-click access to daily tools • Visual indicators when a site is already open • Drag to reorder 🗂️ Workspaces (collapsible context groups) Create workspaces like: • Work → Slack, dashboard, docs, email • Client A → portal, reports, tickets • Personal → social, finance, shopping Collapse what you’re not using. Switch contexts with one click. 🔍 Quick Search (keyboard-first) Press Cmd/Ctrl + K to search across: • Favorites • Workspace items • Open tabs Press Enter to jump instantly. Never hunt for tabs again. 🌐 Immersive Browsing Mode Toggle the sidebar with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + E. Hide Chrome’s tab bar. Result: ZERO browser chrome visible. True full-screen, app-like web experience. Tabs appear only when you summon them. No browser offers this out of the box. 📂 One-click Tab Grouping Overwhelmed with 7 GitHub tabs and 5 Figma tabs? One click groups all tabs by domain. Collapse groups. Close all at once. Smart handling for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides—each gets its own group. 📸 Screenshot Capture Select any region of any page. Copy to clipboard or download as PNG. Built-in—no extra extension needed. 🎯 Who is Tabwise for? • Arc Browser refugees → vertical tabs + workspaces in Chrome/Edge/Brave • Power users (20+ tabs) → horizontal tabs become unreadable; vertical tabs show more • Developers & PMs → GitHub, localhost, Jira, docs in separate project workspaces • Knowledge workers → researchers/designers/writers juggling multiple contexts • AI browser users → Comet/Atlas/Dia + the vertical tab management they’re missing • Focus-mode seekers → distraction-free browsing with tabs on-demand (Immersive mode) If you usually browse with <5 tabs, you probably don’t need this. ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + E → Toggle sidebar (Immersive mode) Cmd/Ctrl + K → Quick search Shift + Click → Force open in new tab ⚡ Setup (30 seconds) Install → Click “Set up automatically” → Done. Tabwise analyzes your browsing history locally and creates personalized favorites and workspaces. No manual setup required. Or import your existing bookmarks as workspaces with one click. 🔒 100% private • All data stays on YOUR device • Zero tracking, zero telemetry, zero analytics • No servers, no accounts, no sign-up • Works completely offline • Open source on GitHub We never see your tabs, your history, or anything else. Period. 🌐 Works on Chrome ✓ Brave ✓ Edge ✓ Comet ✓ Atlas ✓ Dia ✓ Any Chromium-based browser ✓ Get the organizational power of Arc in the browser you already use. For people with too many tabs.
