  TabWars – Tab Manager & Session Saver

• Apr 1, 2026
  description

  25/03/2026 UPDATE - TabWars is a Chrome tab manager with a panic button. Currently being updated — new version coming soon. 
  
  
  What TabWars does
  Save all open tabs as a named session. Restore that session later with one click—either into your current window (keeps existing tabs) or a new window.
  Why install it
  
  
  Instant context switching between projects or study topics
  
  
  Reliable recovery after restarts or crashes
  
  
  Less clutter: open only what you need, when you need it
  
  
  Private by design: data stays on your device
  
  
  Features
  
  
  Save / Restore / Restore to New Window
  
  
  Rename sessions (no need to re-save)
  
  
  Import & Export (backup or move to another device)
  
  
  Theme picker (ROTJ green, Jedi blue, Sith red, Beskar, Rebel orange)
  
  
  Small sound toggle (on/off)
  
  
  Clean, fast MV3 UI
  
  
  How it works
  
  
  Name your session → Save
  
  
  Later: Restore (current window) or New Window
  
  
  Use Rename to organize; Import/Export for backups
  
  
  Free vs Pro
  
  
  Free: up to 2 saved sessions; all UI features
  
  
  Pro (in-app purchase via Gumroad): unlimited sessions
  
  
  Permissions (why they’re needed)
  
  
  tabs — read open tabs to save; open tabs to restore
  
  
  storage — store sessions and settings locally in your browser
  
  
  Compatibility
  
  
  Google Chrome (and Chromium browsers that support MV3) on desktop
  
  
  FAQ
  
  
  Does Restore close my current tabs? No. Restore adds to your current window; “New Window” opens a separate window.
  
  
  Does it track me? No analytics, no tracking.
  
  
  How does Pro work? If you choose to upgrade, the extension verifies your Gumroad license key once. That’s it.

  Pro users can remove the stored license by clearing extension data or uninstalling.
  
  
  Children’s privacy: Not directed to children under 13.

  Pricing: Free to use. Contains an optional in-app purchase (Pro) for unlimited sessions.

  Ever had your boss walk over while you had 34 tabs open?
  
  TabWars has a panic button.
  One click. Every tab replaced with a decoy page. No trace. Click again — everything comes back exactly as it was. Nobody else has built this. We checked.
  
  But that's just the start.
  
  TabWars is the tab manager that actually understands how people work. You open tabs in bursts. You lose tabs constantly. Your laptop slows to a crawl. You can't find anything. Sound familiar?
  Here's what TabWars does about it:
  
  🕶️ PANIC CLOAK — Hide everything in one click. Set any page as your decoy. Your boss sees nothing.
  
  💾 FLEET SESSIONS — Save your whole browser setup with a name. Restore it in one click, any time. Like bookmarks but for your entire workspace.
  
  🎯 FOCUS MODE — Pick which tabs to keep. Hide everything else. Timer built in. Your brain will thank you.
  
  ⚓ CLEAR THE DECK — Close every tab you haven't saved. Clean browser in one click. Guilt-free tab hoarding, finally solved.
  
  🛡️ TAB RECOVERY — Closed something by accident? TabWars has it. Always. Restores only what's missing.
  
  💤 IDLE SUSPENDER — Inactive tabs eating your RAM? TabWars puts them to sleep automatically. Your laptop stops sounding like a jet engine.
  
  🧹 DUPLICATE CLEANER — How many Gmail tabs do you actually need open? Exactly.
  
  ⚡ LIVE SEARCH — Find any tab or saved session in seconds. Just start typing.
  
  🎨 5 STAR WARS THEMES — Because your tab manager should spark joy. Choose your faction. May the tabs be with you.
  
  Zero tracking. Zero ads. Zero data leaving your browser. Ever.
  
  Free to install. No account. No credit card. Just install it and your browser gets better immediately.
