Description

A simple & lightweight tool to reduce tab clutter, using just the address bar.

● Too many disorganized tabs open?
● Slow to find the tab you're looking for?
● Want to reduce tab and window clutter quickly?

Tab Extract helps you easily re-organize your tabs according to the subject or site,
or quickly find a tab, or easily remove multiple tabs.

How it works:
Tab Extract will move all tabs from any window with a keyword match (in their URL or page title), into a new window.

To use, type "ex" followed by a tab/space into the address bar, then enter keywords.

✓ "ex facebook news"
will extract all facebook tabs and any tab with "news" or "facebook" in their title or URL, into a new window.

✓ "ex ."
merges all tabs into the same window. This works because all URLs have a "." in them.

✓ Batch-remove tabs by extracting tabs to a new window using Tab Extract, and then closing the window.

✓ Tab Extract can merge tabs from across different windows into the same window by using a common keyword amongst the tabs.

Notes: There is no need to select anything in the auto complete box, just press enter.

If your Chrome has saved some "ex " as a search term for autocomplete, clear your history.

The extension was extremelly useful formerly but now (when Chrome unloads tabs by itself) it became unuseable and needs a fix: Extension searches tabs with { status: "complete" } but nowadays a lot of tabs have { status: "unloaded" } instead so tabs with this status should be processed too.

Great extension but it does only find tabs in the current window.

This extension is just awesome for people like myself who have a lot of open tabs both when using Chrome (Edge) at work and personal use. My only reservation is that I find another extension called The Marvelous Suspender indisposable, and Tab Ex doesn't allow me to extract tabs that have been suspended, so as an unintuitive workaround, I have to "wake" the tabs all up before performing tab extractions. I know that another comment already mentions this, but this is just to make the developers aware that compatibility with sleeping/suspended tabs is what would truly make this extension shine!
