Extension to Hide Inactive Tabs
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Chrome's tab groups do this: put the tabs in a group, then click the group's name to collapse it, and they disappear from the tab bar until you click it again. Tab Manager works differently: it puts idle tabs to sleep to free memory, but they stay visible in the tab bar. To clear them away completely, save the window as a session and close it.
