Smart Tab Organizer

Groups browser tabs by hostname using user-defined rule sets — named workflows, live color preview, and quick popup controls for organizing, reordering, grouping, and ungrouping tabs.

Available on the Chrome Web Store →

Extension popup
Smart Tab Organizer popup with Organize, Reorder, Group, and Ungroup actions

One click each for Organize, Reorder, Group, and Ungroup — scoped to the current window or tab.

Features

  • Named rule sets — maintain multiple workflows and switch between them from the options page.
  • Sync across devices — opt-in sync of settings via Chrome storage, disabled by default.
  • Live color preview — see group colors and ordering before saving your rule set.
  • Popup actions — organize, reorder, group, ungroup, and clean up empty groups in one click.
  • Unmatched fallback — optionally collect unmatched tabs into their own named group.
  • Ignore pinned tabs — keep pinned tabs out of automatic grouping entirely.

Install

Easiest way: install directly from the Chrome Web Store.

Or load unpacked (for development/testing)

  1. Open chrome://extensions/ (or edge://extensions/).
  2. Enable Developer mode.
  3. Click Load unpacked and select the cloned repository folder.
  4. Open the extension's options page via the extensions menu and configure your rule sets.

Rule syntax

Add one rule per line inside a group. Supported formats:

contains:github — matches any hostname containing "github"
*.google.com — wildcard subdomain match
regex:^mail\. — full regex matching for advanced cases

Privacy

Smart Tab Organizer only accesses tab URLs/hostnames and your own saved rule configuration — nothing leaves your browser.

  • No data is sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising/profiling.
  • Settings are stored in chrome.storage.local (and optionally chrome.storage.sync if you opt in) — processing happens entirely in the browser.
  • No developer-controlled server, and no remote code is used for core functionality.
