Nuff Tabs is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you manage and limit the number of open browser tabs. It automatically closes tabs once you exceed a set limit, helping maintain a clutter-free browsing experience.

You can customize the tab limit and choose from a variety of discard rules, such as closing the oldest, newest, least recently used, least frequently used, or even a random tab. Additionally, pinned tabs can be excluded from being closed. The extension also displays the current number of open tabs directly on its icon, giving you quick insight at a glance.

For developers and curious users, the source code is openly available on GitHub. Nuff Tabs is perfect for anyone looking to improve browser performance and reduce tab overload efficiently.

User reviews

Users appreciate 'Nuff Tabs' for its simplicity, effective tab management, and flexible options like pinning and choosing which tabs to close. However, several users report recent updates breaking key features, such as loss of tabs, inability to save settings, and interface changes removing convenient pop-up controls. Additionally, automatic tab closing without confirmation is a concern. While the extension has been reliable for years, the latest changes have caused frustration and loss of trust among long-term users.

Pros

Effectively manages and limits the number of open tabs as intended.
Offers good options for choosing which tabs to close (newest, oldest, etc).
Allows pinning tabs to prevent them from being closed, supporting perma-open important tabs.
Simple and straightforward user experience, with features that do what they say.
Open source nature appreciated by users.

Cons

Recent update caused significant issues, including losing many tabs and broken functionality.
Settings are not reliably saved or remembered between sessions.
Lack of a prompt or confirmation before automatically closing tabs can lead to accidental loss of important work.
Inability to see the number of tabs per window in the new version.
New update changed the interface (pop-up replaced by entire page) in a way that users find unhelpful or broken.

Works well but it never remembers the settings I save it on - if I save 10 tabs, close the newest, then sometimes it will revert to the old options, closing 5 tabs and my oldest ones. I would love it if the settings saved correctly every time.

Worked great as part of my tab organization toolbox, up until today. Used it to count/limit the amount of tabs I had per window. New update killed all but 10 of the 400+ tabs I had open. Doesn't show the number of tabs per window anymore. Closed all my tabs individually, so the Chrome history function was unable to restore all the tabs in my windows. "Recently discarded tabs" only showed up to 100. Even after saving the max number of tabs as 50, restoring tabs after Chrome closed still killed everything but 10 tabs (again). Hopefully you can fix the bugs, but I'm too stressed from losing tabs to use it right now.

September 1, 2024 update broke it (today). You can't set the tabs on the pop-up. It opens an entire page (which doesn't work). Uninstalled after 5 years of use.
