Chrome Tidy

About

Chrome Tidy helps you take back control of your Chrome tabs. Whether you have 10 tabs or 100+, Chrome Tidy keeps your browser fast, organized, and clutter-free.

Auto-Tidy: organize all your tabs into Chrome tab groups by tag, close duplicates, and group untagged tabs — all in a single action

Privacy first:

All tab data stays locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage. Chrome Tidy never sends your browsing history, URLs, or tab contents to any external server. Tag configurations can optionally sync across devices via your signed-in account — no browsing data is ever uploaded.
