All your tabs, all in one place

Ever lose a tab in a sea of windows? The Open Tabs view rounds up every open tab across every Chrome window and lays them out in one clean list. No more squinting at tiny tab icons or alt-tabbing forever like it’s a workout. Even tabs that Chrome has put to sleep to save memory show up here — they’re listed by their title and web address, wide awake on the page even while they nap in the background.
Open Tabs is a live list. As you open, close, and jump between tabs, the view keeps up — no refresh button needed.

​
Turn it on

Open Tabs is a tab in the side panel that you can switch on when you want it:
1

Open Settings

Head to the side panel and open Settings.
2

Show the Open Tabs view

Flip on the Open Tabs option. A new Open Tabs tab appears in the panel.
3

Make it yours

Choose how the list looks — the layout, the sort order, and whether tabs are grouped by window. Pick what feels comfy.

​
Save the good ones

The whole point is to rescue the tabs worth keeping. From the Open Tabs view you can:
  • Save a tab into a workspace — pop it into a new or existing workspace so it’s safe to close.
  • Jump to a tab — click and you’re whisked straight to it, even if it’s in another window.
Think of it as a “keep or toss” pile for your browser. Save the tabs you’ll want later, then close the rest with a clear conscience and a lighter computer.

​
Your AI knows about these tabs too

The same open tabs feed into the AI assistant. So you can ask the chat things like “which of my open tabs haven’t I saved yet?” and it actually knows the answer, because it can see the same list you can.

​
A quick note on memory

Listing a sleeping tab doesn’t wake it up. Open Tabs reads the title and address only, so your napping tabs stay napping and your computer stays happy. For more on keeping memory in check, see Performance & RAM.
