description

The Tabberwocky Tab Defenestrator is your stalwart ally against the chaos of too many tabs in too many windows. It's a set of intuitive tools designed to help you quickly trim and organize tabs so you can get on with your day.
The Tabberwocky Tab Defenestrator (aka TTD) operates as a vertical tab list in your side panel, with real-time updates as tabs are opened, moved, or closed.

Key Features
🧹 Close Duplicates: track duplicate tabs as they propagate, and purge them with a single, glorious click
🌐 Close or consolidate by Domain: The TTD maintains a visual count of tabs by domain. You can click to close all respective tabs at once, or consolidate them into dedicated windows
🪟 Merge Windows: Consolidate everything everywhere all at once into a single window. 
📊 Sort Tabs: Organize tabs alphabetically by domain or in the order they were last accessed

⚡ Combined Actions: Single click to close duplicates + merge windows (customizable combinations on the roadmap)
🎯 Tab Group Integrity: Groups are preserved during merges and sorts

UX Controls
• Window View Toggle: Switch the side panel view between your current window and all open windows
• Display/Hide URLs: Toggle URL visibility in the side panel tab listings

For a more detailed and interactive overview, please see tabberwocky.org/walkthrough.

There's more on the roadmap, along with a separate Chrome extension providing complementary features.

Accessibility
• Full keyboard navigation (arrow keys, Tab, Enter/Space)
• Screen reader support with ARIA labels and announcements
• Clear focus indicators, semantic structure, WCAG 2.1 AA standards

🔒 Privacy: tabberwocky.org/privacy
• All processing stays local on your device
• No tracking, analytics, or unexpected handling of data
• No access to your tab page content
Note: at installation, you'll see a "this can read your browser history" notification. This is because the extension's features need to access real-time tab information such as the tab url, tab favicon, and the order of tabs in your browser window. The Tabberwocky Tab Defenestrator does't access your actual browser history -- it only knows about tabs that are currently open.

After installation, a tab will open to provide onboarding information

The Tabberwocky Tab Defenestrator is a toolset designed to help you quickly remove the tabs you no longer need and organize the rest so you can get on with your day. It resides at the ready in your Chrome side panel, including a real-time list of tabs you can easily browse, organize, and close by tab, site, or window.

KEY FEATURES

Identify and remove the tabs you no longer need:
› Close Duplicates — Count duplicate tabs as they propagate, and remove them in a single, glorious click.
› In-line tools — Close individual tabs, sites, or windows at a time.

Organize:
› Sort Tabs — Reorder tabs in your current window by domain or the time you last accessed them.
› Merge Windows — Single click to merge everything from everywhere all at once. Each window's tabs arrive in their original order. Pinned tab states are preserved.
› Gather by Site — Single click to pull all associated tabs into a new, dedicated window. Great for when you're not done with tabs tied to a site but don't want them scattered across windows.
