Installing takes about a minute. Pinning the button afterwards is easy to skip, and it is what puts the extension one click away, so this page covers both. By the end you will have the button in your toolbar and you will know what Chrome asked you to allow.

Add eggz Tab Manager to Chrome

Opens the official Chrome Web Store listing. Click Add to Chrome and you are installed in seconds.

​
Install from the Chrome Web Store

  1. Open the eggz Tab Manager & Bill Capture listing on the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click Add to Chrome and confirm the permissions prompt.
  3. Pin the extension so the toolbar button is always visible: click the puzzle piece in the Chrome toolbar, find eggz Tab Manager, and click the pin icon.
Pinning matters because that button is how you open everything. One click, every time.

​
The first time you open it

Click the eggz Tab Manager button and a card opens over the page you are reading. It floats on top, so nothing on the page moves. If you would rather have a panel docked to the side of the window, that is one setting away. See Two ways to open it. A short welcome says hello and offers to sign in to eggz. Signing in is optional: workspaces, tab tools, memory saving, snapshots and backup all work without an account. Signing in adds the AI assistant, document upload and bill capture. Installing also opens the full-page dashboard in a pinned tab, so the big organising view is there when you want it.

Getting started, step by step

Install, then your first workspace, then your first tab moved. About five minutes.

​
Keyboard shortcuts, out of the box

Two more commands, Next workspace and Previous workspace, ship without keys so they cannot clash with shortcuts you already use. Give them keys at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. The full run-down is on Keyboard shortcuts.

​
Developers: load unpacked

If you are building from source:
  1. Run your team’s build command (for example pnpm run build) to produce an unpacked dist/ folder.
  2. Go to Chrome → Extensions, enable Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select dist/.
Unpacked builds are for development only. End users should install from the Chrome Web Store so Chrome can apply automatic updates and signature checks.

​
Why the permissions exist

The extension needs broad tab access to save workspaces, switch tab sets, rename tabs, take snapshots and unload idle tabs. It also needs to draw on the page you are reading, because that is what the floating card is, and so its right-click menu items can appear on pages. Your browsing data stays local to the extension unless you deliberately use a feature that sends content to eggz: the AI assistant, document uploads and bill capture. Settings & privacy has the detail.
