Features & Capabilities

Tab Limiter is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you manage and control your browser tab usage on a per-window basis. It allows you to set a maximum number of tabs in any given window, preventing unwanted clutter and keeping your workspace organized.

When the tab limit is reached, additional tabs automatically "bounce" to a designated overflow window, ensuring your focused window remains clean. This feature is especially useful if you want a dedicated window for important sites, such as email or chat, always easily accessible without switching tabs. The extension supports seamless handling of private/incognito windows with separate overflow management.

Using Tab Limiter is simple: right-click on any page to access the context menu, set or remove tab limits, and manage your overflow windows effortlessly. Say goodbye to tab chaos and boost your productivity with Tab Limiter!

Is Tab Limiter Safe?

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.

Tab Limiter does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.
