1. Better-OneTab – Easy Tab Storing and Grouping
If you are familiar with the popularOneTab extensionfor storing your web pages, this is a similar extension on steroids.
To use the extension, right-click the extension icon on the extensions bar and select the appropriate option. You can even enable keyboard shortcuts.
On the tab lists screen, you will find an easy-to-use interface. You can drag the tabs to rearrange them in different folders. Some other exciting features include color coding and pinning lists for better organization.
When you click on the tab, it is removed from the list by default. However, you can change that in the extension settings if you want the web pages to stay until you delete them manually.

2. Toby – Simple Tab Management
Toby arranges your saved tabs in collections, which are folders. You can save your entire session from the extension icon or open Toby to drag and drag the open tabs into collections.
When reopening the tabs, you can open the entire collection or manually choose the tabs. If you no longer require particular tabs, delete them—don’t forget that the extension only saves them temporarily. Other features include syncing collections and dark mode.
Tip:To create a new collection, click on the red icon at the bottom.
The only thingIdislike about this extension is that it takes over the start page in Chrome. Now, that may not be a problem for every person.

3. Tabzen – Multiple Tab Saving Options
Tabzen is a simple tab manager that shows all the open tabs when activated. You can save a single tab or all the open tabs by clicking on the star icon.
Like other tab managers, this extension lets you organize your tabs in folders. You can check the folders from the pop-up window when you click on the extension. If you want to manage your tabs better, you should open the Tab Manager by clicking on the three-dot icon on that extension.
The Tab Manager supports drag-and-drop to organize tabs. You can import or export tabs and even sort them. You can open tabs through the pop-up window or the Tab Manager.
This extension’s drawback is that it doesn’t offer additional customization features, such as color-coding, managing what happens when you click on the link, etc.

4. Session Buddy – Great for Thematic Saving
Sometimes, instead of saving the selected tabs, one wants to save the entire session. Session buddy is great at this.
It comes in handy when you have multiple tabs open related to the same topic. For instance, if you were researching a topic you need later, you could save the entire session. Later, when you need it, you can reopen the tabs from that session using Session Buddy.
You can open an individual tab or all tabs from the session. When you finish the session, you can remove it by right-clicking on the session name and choosing Delete.

In the last option, you must select the Chrome tabs first. To select tabs, press theCtrl(Windows) orCommand(Mac) key and click on the tabs you want to choose with your mouse. Once selected, launch the extension and check the box next toSaveselected tabs only. The selected tabs will be saved in the group.

6. Onetab – Privacy-Centric Tab Saver
We explored Better-OneTab, which seems to add to Onetab’s features. However, the Onetab extension is still very effective at saving open tabs in Chrome.
Your information is not shared with the Onetab developers unless you click the share as a web page feature. This makes it a great option for privacy. This feature allows you to share your webpage list with other people. Using this extension reduces the CPU load on your computer.

7. Tab Wrangler – Great Auto-Close Feature
Besides saving your tabs, Tab Wrangler goes the extra mile of automatically closing your idle Chrome tabs.
The extension is also smart enough to prevent the auto-closing of your regularly used sites. One reason it is popular is that you can sync your settings across devices.
If you want to prevent certain tabs from automatically closing, you simply have to pin them. But even the auto-closed tabs can easily be recovered because they are locked safely in a folder.
