Save 95% memory, preserve tab groups, and never lose your tabs.
Tabbee is a lean, crash-proof Chrome extension engineered as a 50x lighter alternative to OneTab and Tabox. 1-click stash, instant startup, and zero telemetry.
TabbeeEngineered for speed, not sludge.
Unlike legacy tab managers built with 2.5MB of bloated React libraries, Tabbee is hand-crafted with Preact and Vite to run seamlessly in the background.
Native Chrome Tab Group Preservation
Tabbee captures Chrome's native tab groups — retaining their custom colors, titles, and exact hierarchy. When you restore a window, your workspace looks exactly as you left it.
Zero-RAM Sleeping Tabs
Restore 100+ tabs in a millisecond using defer.html placeholders. Tabs consume 0% CPU and 0% RAM until you click or focus them.
Alt + W Stash Hotkey
Hit Alt + W from anywhere in Chrome. Tabbee instantly closes your window, hibernates all tabs, and frees gigabytes of memory.
Crash-Proof Rolling Backups
Never lose critical research tabs to a corrupted storage file again. Tabbee maintains rolling automated snapshots in Chrome local storage with 1-click JSON exports.
How Tabbee compares.
A plain-English breakdown of why your browser stays fast with Tabbee and gets sluggish with other tools.
| What Matters | Legacy Tabox | OneTab | Tabbee |
|---|---|---|---|
Size & Computer Weight How heavy the app is on your laptop | Heavy (2,500 KB React) | Medium (~150 KB) | Featherlight (~48 KB Preact) |
Opening Speed How fast it opens when clicked | Noticeable lag (~0.4s) | Sluggish delay | Instant (<15 ms, faster than a blink) |
Color Tab Groups Keeps your colored folders organized | Yes | Destroys all groups | Keeps every group & color |
Battery & Memory Sleep Stops background tabs from draining battery | Basic | None (Laptop fan screams) | 0% RAM sleep (defer.html wake-on-click) |
Crash Protection If Chrome quits or laptop dies | Fragile (Can lose tabs) | High risk (Frequent tab loss) | Auto-saved safely on your PC |
1-Key Screen Clear Clean your screen without touching menus | Clunky manual popup | Click only | 1 keypress: Alt + W |
