Browser Workspaces — Save and Switch Tab Sessions
Save named sets of tabs, switch between them instantly. Preserves tab groups, pinned tabs, mute states, and group colors — stored locally, no account needed.
Updated
Workspaces let you save a named snapshot of your open tabs and switch between project contexts in one click. Whether you keep separate tab sets for work, research, and personal browsing — or need to juggle multiple client projects — workspaces give you a clean way to context-switch without losing anything.
How It Works
When you save a workspace, SuperchargeNavigation captures the current state of every open tab: URLs, tab groups with their names and colors, which tabs are pinned, and which tabs are muted. That snapshot is stored in Chrome’s local storage.
To restore a workspace, select it from the Vertical Tabs side panel. Your current tabs are replaced with the saved set, and every tab reopens in its original position, group, and state. Switching workspaces is as fast as switching browser windows.
Settings
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Export | Download the workspace as a file for backup or sharing |
| Send tab to workspace | Right-click any tab in the side panel → context menu option |
| Rename | Right-click a workspace name and choose Rename, or double-click the name. A dotted underline and pencil icon appear on hover to show the name is editable. |
When to Use This
Client or project work: Create one workspace per client. Switch cleanly between them without contaminating tab sets or accidentally closing the wrong window.
Research sessions: Save a workspace mid-research so you can come back exactly where you left off — same tabs, same groups, same pinned and muted states.
Recovery with Time Travel: Workspaces are the named, intentional layer; Time Travel is the automatic safety net. Use both together for full tab state coverage.
Privacy
Workspace data is stored in chrome.storage and never sent to a SuperchargeBrowser server. It uses your browser’s own chrome.storage.sync (Chrome to Chrome on the same Google account, Edge to Edge on the same Microsoft account, never across the two) and we can’t access it. The extension itself sends no telemetry.
