# Tab Stash Alternative for Chrome, Edge and Brave (2026) Source: https://supercommands.com/blogs/tab-stash-open-source-alternative Author: Product Team Updated: 2026-10-21 > Tab Stash is Firefox-only. The best Tab Stash alternative in Chrome: OneTab, saved tab groups, Tab Session Manager or SuperCommands, compared. The closest Tab Stash alternative in Chrome, Edge and Brave is OneTab, which clears a window into a list in one click and imports Tab Stash's OneTab-format export. For open source, pick Tab Session Manager (MPL-2.0, the same license); for plain bookmarks, Chrome's `Ctrl + Shift + D` needs no extension. This is for Tab Stash users who moved off Firefox. If you are still on Firefox and happy, stay: Tab Stash is actively maintained. ## Why doesn't Tab Stash work in Chrome? It is built on Firefox bookmarks and its sidebar. The add-on summary ends with "Only for Firefox," and the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/josh-berry/tab-stash) calls its Chrome build "a highly-experimental port." - **What it does:** saves tabs as bookmarks in groups and sub-groups, clears the window in one click, searches the stash and exports to rich text, Markdown and OneTab formats. - **Sync:** stashes are bookmarks, so Firefox Sync carries them with no extra account. - **Status:** version 3.5 (September 14, 2026) added Firefox tab groups; about 40,000 users, 4.6 stars from 607 reviews. ## The best Tab Stash alternatives, compared | Alternative | One-click clear | Open source | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bookmarks and tab groups | No | n/a | Free | | OneTab | Yes | No | Free | | Tab Session Manager | Save, then close | MPL-2.0 | Free | | Toby | Optional | No | Free to 60 tabs; from $4.50/month yearly | | SuperCommands | Save, then close | Yes | Free | Toby's price is from [its pricing page](https://www.gettoby.com/pricing) as of October 2026. ### Chrome bookmarks and saved tab groups **Best for:** keeping real bookmarks with no new extension. Press `Ctrl + Shift + D` (`Cmd + Shift + D` on Mac) to bookmark all tabs into a folder, then close the window; it works in Chrome, Edge and Brave. Closed tab groups stay in the bookmarks bar or under More, then Tab groups ([Google help](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2391819?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en)). - Restore: right-click the folder and choose **Open all**. Full steps: [how to save all open tabs](https://supercommands.com/blogs/how-to-save-all-open-tabs-chrome). - Skip it if you want a sidebar, one-click clear or search across groups. ### OneTab **Best for:** the same one-click stash gesture. [OneTab](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/onetab/chphlpgkkbolifaimnlloiipkdnihall) turns every tab in the window into a list; restore one or all. It has 2 million users and was updated October 11, 2026. - Migration: export from Tab Stash in OneTab format, then import into OneTab. - Limit: it keeps its own list, not bookmarks, so back it up with its export. - Price: free; [its site](https://www.one-tab.com/) lists folders, notes and encrypted sync. ### Tab Session Manager **Best for:** staying open source. [Tab Session Manager](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tab-session-manager/iaiomicjabeggjcfkbimgmglanimpnae) saves windows on close and at intervals, with names, tags, Chrome tab groups and cloud sync. - Bonus: automatic snapshots, which Tab Stash never did. - Limit: a session manager more than a stash; you save, then close. - Price: free, [MPL-2.0](https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager); Chrome, Edge and Firefox. ### Toby **Best for:** a small, visual, curated stash. [Toby](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/toby-for-chrome/hddnkoipeenegfoeaoibdmnaalmgkpip) saves a window's tabs into collections and spaces, with notes, checklists and keyword shortcuts. - Skip it if your stash is a years-long archive: the free plan stops new saves at 60 tabs. - Price: from $4.50/month billed yearly. ### SuperCommands **Best for:** stashes you reopen on a routine. Save once: press `Alt + S`, type `c link`, pick tabs from **Current Tabs** (duplicates skipped) and add the text shortcut `research`. Typing `c`, Space, `research` in the address bar reopens Scholar, arXiv and your draft together ([Links docs](https://supercommands.com/docs/links)). - Notes sit beside the links; optional [Google Drive backup](https://supercommands.com/docs/drive-backup) runs every 24 hours, keeping 15 versions. - Limit: does not close tabs for you, use bookmarks or run on Firefox. - Price: free and open source; the local version is 100% free, forever. ## How do I move my Tab Stash data to Chrome? Your stash is already in Firefox bookmarks, so you can skip the export. 1. In Tab Stash, export your groups: **OneTab** format for OneTab, plain text or Markdown for anything else. 2. Or use Chrome's **Import bookmarks and settings** to bring Firefox bookmarks across on the same computer. 3. Move one group first, restart the browser and check it before moving the rest. > **Tip:** Collections can pull links from browser bookmarks, so an imported folder can become a SuperCommands set. ## Which one should you pick? - Pick **`Ctrl + Shift + D` plus saved tab groups** if you want bookmarks and no new extension. - Pick **OneTab** if you want the same one-click stash. - Pick **Tab Session Manager** if you want open source and automatic session backups. - Pick **SuperCommands** if your stashes are routines you reopen.
