A OneTab alternative for people who want to keep working in their tabs
OneTab is the most popular tab manager on the Chrome Web Store: 2,000,000 users, a 4.4-star rating, and an update on September 20, 2026. Its recent reviews are overwhelmingly positive. This page is not going to tell you it is broken.
It does one thing: it closes your tabs and turns them into a list, so memory comes back. That is the right tool if memory is the problem. It is the wrong shape if you want to keep your tabs open and simply find the one you need, or if you organize work with Chrome tab groups. One recent reviewer asks for better handling of tab groups.

Should you switch?
Stay with OneTab if your goal is to free memory with one click and you are happy restoring tabs from a list.
Try Tabwright if you would rather keep tabs open and jump between them from the keyboard, or you rely on tab groups. You can run both side by side.
Tabwright is new, so it has few users and no track record yet. It needs no account, has no analytics, and your tabs never leave your computer.
