SpiderTab is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your new tab experience by allowing you to open more than one webpage simultaneously whenever you start a new tab.

Whether you want quick access to news, email, productivity tools, or any favorite websites, SpiderTab makes it simple to configure and customize your browsing interface. This extension improves workflow efficiency and provides a personalized browsing environment every time you open a new tab.

Doesn't work with local websites, like file:///mywebsite/main_page.htm. There is no reason for this. I have plenty of Chrome extensions that are working with my local website. Also, it would be nice to change the websites from inside of the tab, but you can't. You have to click the extension button and input the websites there and then open a new tab. There is also a lot of wasted space at the very top of the tab and on the sides.

Wasn't working. I could only key in URLs. But the keyed in URLs won't open, even after I clicked enter. It still stays on the old webpage as a single tab.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SpiderTab requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

SpiderTab has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
