Pinako vs TabTabTab

Pinako is a browser extension for organizing tabs and sessions in nested trees and restoring closed tabs and windows to their earlier positions. Libraries collect tabs, windows, and notes, including shared workspaces. Notes support rich text; Pro+ adds resizable image, video, and audio embeds stored in Pinako cloud. Search includes natural-language queries and an AI Librarian chat panel, while an MCP bridge connects desktop AI clients and runs locally. AI Search sends the query and relevant context to xAI's Grok API. The free extension stores data locally; the privacy policy says Pinako does not sell data, read page contents, or train AI models on stored data. Backups can use local snapshots or optional services including Google Drive, Dropbox, Filecoin, Arweave, and Storj. The Free plan is free. Pro is $5 a month, Pro+ is $10 a month, Premium is $25 a month, and Enterprise is $60 a month. New subscribers can try Pro and Pro+ monthly plans for 14 days without providing a payment method.

TabTabTab is a free Chrome extension for organising browser tabs across windows. It presents pinned, grouped, and standalone tabs in one list and lets you rearrange them by drag and drop. Tab groups and entire window sessions can be saved and restored, while automatic grouping works by domain or subdomain. The extension can alert you to duplicate tabs, merge windows, track tab access time, copy URLs, capture screenshots, search tabs, and clean up automatically. A side-panel overview and dark mode are included. The Chrome Web Store lists the extension with 3,000 users. The project’s public GitHub repository uses the MIT license, and the developer says the extension will not collect or use user data. Support information points to a desktop-browser support page and GitHub Discussions for questions, suggestions, and bug reports. The listed Free plan costs nothing, with no paid tiers or usage limits stated.
