Review and organize open tabs

(Updated: )

When dozens of tabs are open across several windows, finding one page — or the one that slows your Mac down — means clicking through all of them.

Browser Care lists every open tab in one place, along with how many Mac resources each one uses. You can review the tabs, search for a specific one, and sort or group the list.

Review all open tabs

To review your tabs, click All Tabs in Browser Care. The number next to All Tabs shows the total number of tabs open across all windows of your current Chrome profile.

Each row in the list shows:

  • The tab name and its icon.

  • The domain the tab belongs to and how long the tab has been open.

  • Memory — how much Mac memory the tab uses. The values update every three seconds.

By default, the tabs that use the most memory are at the top of the list.

Search for a tab

To find a tab quickly, type part of its name or web address in the search field. The list narrows down as you type.

If nothing matches, Browser Care shows "No tabs found" and suggests trying a different search.

To clear the search, click Clear (The Clear button) in the field.

Sort and group tabs

To change how tabs are listed:

  1. Next to the search field, click Sort (The Sort button).

  2. Choose how to sort or group tabs:

    OptionWhat it does
    Resource UsageLists tabs from the most to the least demanding, based on memory use. This is the default option.
    Open TimeLists tabs by how long they've been open. The Memory column is replaced with the Open For column.
    DomainGroups tabs by domain. Each group shows the domain and the number of tabs in it.
    WindowGroups tabs by Chrome window. The window you're using is shown first. Each group shows the window number and the number of tabs in it.

Pause or close tabs

When you find tabs that use too many Mac resources, you can act on them right from the list:
