Tab Cleaner Extension is a strong option, but it is not the right fit for everyone. Below are 10 alternatives compared on rating, install base, pricing and the use case each one actually wins on.
Tab Cleaner is intended to bulk delete tabs belonging to registered domains, effectively reducing memory consumption. Clicking on the extension will bring up an options page with the following features * Domain Registration (You can also register the domain of the current tab with the shortcut keys "Control (Command) + Shift + E") * Transition to a previously deleted page * Batch deletion of tabs belonging to the registered domain (Shortcut key "Control (Command) + E" can be used for batch deletion) * Activation of "New Tab" deletion. If execution in incognito window is permitted, batch deletion of tabs in incognito window is also possible. For information on how to allow execution in incognito mode. See `https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/13130396`. If the shortcut keys do not work, go to `chrome://extensions/shortcuts` and re-set the keys. --- Release Notes * v0.2.0 - 2023/07/25 Added the ability to delete individual "Target Domains". * v0.3.0 - 2023/07/31 Added the ability to set a maximum "Cleaned History" limit. * v0.4.0 - 2023/08/10 Added the ability to clear tabs that do not include "Target Domains" in the URL (pilot feature)
