OneTab Extension to Manage All Your Open Tabs in Chrome or Firefox

If you're anything like me, you always have a handful of tabs open in Google Chrome at any given time.  OneTab is an extension for Google Chrome and Firefox that converts all of your tabs into a list.  When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once.  This is handy if you have to shut down your laptop but don't want to lose the tabs you have open.


With OneTab, you can also export or import your tabs as a list of URLs to share with other people, other computers, or your smartphone or table.

As teachers, you could create a shareable list of hyperlinks you want to provide to students or parents.  To create the shareable list, you would open up all the resources in separate tabs, click the One Tab extension icon in your browser to consolidate them all to one tab, and then share that URL with students or parents.



Here's an example of the list of tabs displayed in the first image above and now shared via a URL by clicking on the "Share as web page" button: https://www.one-tab.com/page/xu1AIGXOQSqcuNZXgmmn2A 

When you share the link with others, it will also provide a QR code to the list:



By having fewer tabs open at once, you will save memory and reduce clutter.

Check out OneTab in the Chrome Web Store.
