Extension summary

Analyze keywords

xTab is a Chrome extension that lets you limit the maximum number of tabs that can be open at one time.

You can set the tab limit to any number and choose what tab should be removed when you hit that limit:

Least recently used (default)
Least accessed
Oldest

You can alternatively block new tabs from opening completely once the limit has been reached.

Pinned tabs, tabs playing audio, and tabs that you have never visited (opened in the background) will not be closed.

If you are looking to install in an enterprise environment and customize settings using a group policy please contact us here: https://xtab.app

Note that after the extension is installed, if you do not change the default settings, it will close any tabs you have open beyond a 20 tab limit. For example, if you have 50 tabs open when the extension is installed, the next tab you open will remove 30 tabs. You can avoid this behavior by changing the default settings as soon as it is installed.
