Smarter Tab

Smarter Tab will close your inactive tabs automatically for you, free your computer's memory, enable sorting tabs, and much more!

Smarter Tab is a powerful Chrome extension designed to optimize your browsing experience by automatically closing inactive tabs, freeing up your computer's memory, and reducing battery consumption. Perfect for users who often find themselves overwhelmed with too many open tabs, Smarter Tab ensures your browser runs smoothly without losing track of your previously opened pages.

Key features include automatic closure of inactive tabs based on customizable thresholds, a history page that lets you view, search, and sort auto-closed tabs for easy retrieval, and tab sorting which groups tabs from the same website together for enhanced organization. Customize the minimum number of tabs before auto-closure activates and set the inactivity duration to suit your browsing habits. Smarter Tab keeps your workflow distraction-free and efficient, ensuring your browser never slows down due to excessive tabs.

Really useful when you are opening too many tabs and not using them. Its history is a big plus when I track the closed tabs. Good Job!

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Smarter Tab requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
