Do you sometimes have multiple Chrome windows open and find that it takes a moment to remember or figure out which window houses which tab?
With this extension you can name your browsing windows! Your custom name will appear in square parenthesis at the beginning of the active tab in each window so you can quickly and easily see which window is which!
This extension also automatically saves the state of any named windows, so if you close one, you can open it back up again easily with just two clicks.
Check the options page for customizable parameters.
This extension is currently in Beta, so there may be times when it doesn’t quite function as expected. Whilst it is expected not to have any major faults and generally function correctly, this extension is currently provided as-is and for testing or experimental purposes only. Please do not use unless you are happy with this. New Apeiron accepts no responsibility for loss of data or other damage caused by the use of this extension.
Please note:
Chrome-specific tabs (such as chrome://history/ etc) are fixed so that they cannot be renamed. This means that this extension will not work for that window, when such tabs are selected. However, the prefix will be restored once another tab is selected.
There are some other Google pages which also have this effect and sometimes, you may come across a webpage which renames the page itself. Please let us know when you find these if they are commonly used webpages and not part of the Google or Chrome domain.
Very useful! The one limitation is that it doesn’t seem to work well with pinned tabs. In my “Main” window, I keep all tabs pinned, and try to keep all unpinned tabs in other windows. But with this approach it doesn’t seem to recognize the “Main” window when it re-opens after a reboot.
Just what i needed. Names windows nicely so i can keep my windows organized right in my taskbar. Other addons require you to use another manager which is just one extra manager to use next to my taskbar.
the menu takes a while to load
and it considered 2 of 7 named windows to be closed when i restarted
might just be me using vivaldi on linux
thanks for doing this, i’ve been looking for this for a long time 🙂
Very thankful to the creator of this convenient extension!
I really love this extension. I tend to have multiple windows open with multiple tabs. Ex: one for my main work, one for research for my blog posts, one for social media, etc. I love that I can now easily move between them and have them be saved for the next time I open my browser. Only thing missing is being able to sync between computers. It would be great if you add this extension to any computer if it automatically pulls the named windows/tabs you already have.
Very useful if you tend to hoard tabs.
This works excellently. One suggestion: If this can be saved to the Cloud (via Google Drive) so that you can restore windows across different machines, it would be perfect. Thanks!
It just didn’t work. I “named” my window but no name actually pops up when I right click on the Chrome icon other than the original names for the windows that Chrome generates.
It doesn’t function. I renamed a window and nothing changed. None of the buttons work. Please fix. Win10
Does exactly what it says. Renames each tab with your custom prefix so that when minimized or you press Alt+Tab you know which window you’re about to open.
I also just realized after a month of use that I can use it to restore windows. Goodbye Session Buddy!
One caveat is that if you use a site that renames tabs, say to post the amount of unread messages to the tab’s title, it can be buggy with updating the unread messages to 0.
Works like a charm
Is it possible to add “send tab to specific window” feature? With a hotkey it will be just perfect imho )
