About this extension
NexTabs - Vertical Tabs, Workspaces & Tab Manager gives Chrome an Arc-style vertical sidebar so you can see, scroll, and switch tabs without drowning in a horizontal strip. Use a side panel or in-page rail, then save workspaces, restore sessions, and jump with Quick Search.
Offered by NexRunner Works, NexTabs focuses on everyday tab chaos: workspaces you can save, switch, export, and import; optional cross-device sync; smart grouping; purge duplicates; lock tabs; Alt+K Quick Search; time-travel rewind; optional custom new tab; and themes. Privacy note from the listing: Chrome storage stays local, sync is opt-in only, and no analytics are claimed.
