View modes

Current Tabs is the flagship view of Tab Manager — every tab, in every Chrome window, in one scrollable list. A view-mode menu changes how that list is organized:

ViewWhat it shows
Flat viewEvery tab in a single flat list, in Chrome's own tab order.
Parent-child viewA tree built from which tab opened which — click a link in a new tab and it nests under the tab it came from, so you can see (and close) whole browsing threads at once.
Domain viewTabs grouped by site, so twelve tabs on the same domain collapse into one heading.
Space viewTabs grouped by which Space they belong to, for days when you're juggling more than one project.

Grouping vs. clustering

Two related but distinct actions live in the toolbar:

  • Group by domain creates real, native Chrome tab groups (the colored, collapsible bands Chrome itself supports) — they persist and behave like any tab group you made by hand.
  • Cluster by domain just reorders tabs so same-site tabs sit next to each other, without creating a native group. Lighter-weight, nothing to undo later.

Quick Close

Quick Close lists every domain or IP address with two or more tabs open, so you can close "all 8 tabs on that one shopping site" in a single click instead of hunting through the list one tab at a time.

Batch-opening a list of URLs

Paste a list of URLs (one per line) and open them all at once — useful for reopening a set of links from a document or chat. If the list is large, a confirmation step appears first so a stray paste doesn't spawn eighty tabs by accident. The same paste-a-list mechanism is shared with Snapshot restore and bookmark batch-open.

Multi-window support

All of your Chrome windows are listed together, not just the one currently focused. Per-window actions include reload all tabs, collapse/expand all tab groups in that window, quick-bookmark every tab in the window at once, and close the whole window. From the tab-level context menu you can also move a single tab to another existing window or pop it out into a brand-new one.

Looking up a tab's IP address

Right-click any tab and choose Copy IP Address to get the server IP behind the page you're looking at. X-Power Plus tries, in order: the browser's own connection info (if you've granted the optional network-request permission), then your DNS cache, then a DNS-over-HTTPS lookup (via Google or Cloudflare's public resolvers) as a fallback. You can exclude localhost and private/LAN addresses, and choose the copied format, in Settings.

Tab appearance

Active, pinned, and Space-grouped tabs can each get their own background tint, and a small badge can show how long a tab has been open. When more than one state applies to the same tab (say, active and pinned), a configurable priority order decides which color wins.

Exporting your open tabs

Generate an HTML report listing every tab and window currently open — handy for archiving a research session or handing a reading list to someone else without sending eight browser windows' worth of screenshots.
