### A Chrome extension for Intuitive tab management | ||
|
||
Spaces is a workspace manager for chrome. | ||
It treats each chrome window like a different workspace and lets you name and save each space. | ||
You can close a window full of tabs at any time then reopen it later and continue exactly | ||
where you left off. | ||
|
||
Spaces keeps track of new tabs opened in each workspace and also tabs that you close. | ||
It also allows you to quickly move a tab that you are currently viewing into any | ||
other space- whether it's open or closed. | ||
Great for when you find yourself opening a tab out of context with what you are currently | ||
working on and want to come back to it later. | ||
|
||
Spaces was developed to help users that tend to have way too many tabs open in a chrome window. | ||
It encourages you to move tabs that are not immediately relevant into a different, | ||
more appropriate space - thus removing it from your current window. | ||
This keeps your chrome session manageable - both visually and from a memory perspective. | ||
|
||
Isn't this essentially just bookmarks with folders? Yeah, pretty much - but who uses bookmarks? | ||
|
||
### Chrome Web Store | ||
|
||
Spaces is also [available via the official Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spaces/cenkmofngpohdnkbjdpilgpmbiiljjim). | ||
|
||
Please note that the webstore version may be significantly behind the latest version here. | ||
|
||
