Everything happens in your browser. Tabs haven’t kept up.
Email, meetings, YouTube, Netflix, shopping, it all lives in tabs.
And yet you still lose the Google Meet tab or the article you set aside…
Working without a dock would be chaos on your desktop.
Your browser deserves one too.
Features
Everything you need to tame your tabs.
Nothing you don’t.
Dynamic Tab Dock
All tabs from the same web app are grouped at the bottom of your window, one icon per site.
Easy navigation
Click any tab in the dock to switch instantly. Review what’s open and close what you don’t need.
Smooth animations
Delightful, fluid motion. Because UI is better when gorgeous.
Open source
Free as a beer. You can bring the next one.
No tracking
Everything stays on your computer. Nothing leaves your browser, and there is no account to create.
Who is Tab Dock for?
Anyone who keeps more tabs open than the tab bar can show.
Google Suit users
Two Gmail inboxes, a work calendar and a personal one, three Google Docs.
Tab Dock puts
every tab from the same site under one icon like your computer would do. Every documents under a Google Doc icon, every inboxes under a GMail icon.
Researchers with 40+ tabs
Twelve Wikipedia pages, a stack of PDFs, half a dozen papers, and the article you set aside
for later. Nothing gets closed or archived, some links are opened twice.
With TabDock, your tabs stay open and live, grouped by
source. Open the dock to scan what you have, jump to the tab you need, and close the rest
when you are done.
Developers testing across environments
Localhost, staging, and production each get their own icon, so you always know which environment you are looking at before you click. Documentation, the issue tracker, and the CI dashboard group themselves too. Drag the icons to reorder them, and pin the dock to the top if your dev tools live at the bottom.
How it works
Hover to expand
Move your mouse to the bottom of the window to reveal the dock. Prefer it at the top? Drag the grip and the dock snaps to the top edge.
Group and navigate
Each icon represents a web application. Hover to see its open tabs, click to switch. Drag the icons to reorder them; Tab Dock remembers the order.
Seamless integration
The dock is injected on top of every site you visit, for a consistent, integrated experience.
Permissions & privacy
Tab Dock asks for four permissions, three on Firefox.
- Your tabs, to read their titles, addresses and icons, group them by website, and open, switch to or close them when you click.
- Every website, because the dock is drawn on top of each page you visit. It only adds the dock there and reads nothing from the page. On Firefox, this is also what lets Tab Dock fetch website icons.
- Storage, to hold your tab list while the browser is open; it is erased when you close it. Only the dock position and the icon order stay saved on your device.
- Browser’s icon cache (Chrome, Edge, Brave), to show website logos.
Nothing is sent anywhere: no account, no analytics, no server. Tab Dock does not run in
private windows.
The privacy policy has the full details, and every line of code is on
GitHub.
Common questions
Is Tab Dock free?
Yes. Tab Dock is free and open source, with no paid tier, no trial, and no account. It is published on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, and the full source code is on GitHub under the GPL v3 license. If it saves you time you can leave a tip, but nothing is locked behind it.
Which browsers does Tab Dock work in?
Tab Dock works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox. On Chromium browsers, including Edge and Brave, you install it from the Chrome Web Store. On Firefox, you install it from Firefox Add-ons. It is a desktop extension, since the dock relies on hovering with a mouse.
How is Tab Dock different from OneTab?
OneTab closes your tabs and saves them as a list to free up memory. Tab Dock takes the other approach: your tabs stay open, and the dock gives you a clear way to move between them, grouped by website. OneTab parks tabs for later. Tab Dock helps you keep working with them.
Does it work with Chrome tab groups?
Yes. Tab Dock does not touch Chrome’s tab groups, so any groups you have made in the tab bar stay exactly as they are. The dock groups tabs by website on its own, automatically, and shows them on top of the page. You can use both at the same time.
Does it work across multiple windows?
Each browser window gets its own dock, showing only the tabs open in that window. That keeps the dock short and relevant to what you are doing there. Your dock position and icon order are shared, so the dock looks the same in every window.
