OneTab vs Tab Wrangler

OneTab turns open browser tabs into a saved list that users can restore one at a time or all at once. It works with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and other browsers, and is listed for macOS and Windows. The maker says reducing open tabs can save up to 95% of memory. Saved tabs can be organized into folders, reordered, merged, or managed with quick lists, search, tasks, and stars. Users can import and export tab lists or share a list as a web page. OneTab is free, with no signup required for tab saving and organization. Its optional Backup & Sync encrypts data on the device before upload and uses end-to-end AES-256 encryption, according to the maker. Sync covers saved tabs and settings, not browsing history or currently open tabs. OneTab remains accessible offline, and changes made offline sync when the user is online again. A single Backup & Sync license covers multiple computers, browsers, and profiles, up to 100.

Tab Wrangler is a free browser extension that closes tabs after a period of inactivity, with a one-hour default timeout. Closed tabs are kept in Tab Corral, a searchable, sortable list where they can be restored with one click. Some restorations retain browsing history and scroll position, subject to the browser’s limit of the 25 most recently closed tabs. Users can lock tabs or windows and automatically protect tabs from specified sites. Audio-playing and grouped tabs can also be protected as options, while pinned and active tabs are always protected. Settings include a minimum number of open tabs before automatic closing starts, a pause control, keyboard shortcuts, and import or export for saved tabs and settings. The extension is available for Chrome and Firefox. Browser-account sync can carry settings if enabled, but closed tabs are stored locally and are not synced. The developer says the extension sends no user or usage data and has no tracking, analytics, or advertisements. It can read tab titles and URLs, but not page contents. Saved-tab capacity depends on the browser’s storage quota.
