Free, open-source Chrome tab manager with Google Drive sync.
Tab Nest lets you save, organize, and search your browser tabs without losing context. Sessions are stored locally by default and can be optionally synced to your personal Google Drive — no third-party servers, no subscriptions, no data sold to anyone.
Install from Chrome Web Store (coming soon)

Tab Nest stores all tab data locally in your browser. Google Drive sync is opt-in and writes only to your own Drive account using OAuth — Tab Nest never sees or stores your Drive credentials, and no data is sent to any Tab Nest-operated server.
