Browser Workspaces — Save and Switch Tab Sessions

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

All data is stored in chrome.storage — local by default, with no external dependency.

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.

Replacing Toby, Workona, or Session Buddy: If you’ve used those tools for tab saving, Workspaces covers the same core use case with no subscription, no cloud sync requirement, and no data leaving your machine. See SuperchargeNavigation vs Workona and Session Buddy alternative.

Recovery with Session Time Travel: Workspaces are the named, intentional layer; Session Time Travel is the automatic safety net. Use both together for full tab state coverage.

Privacy

Workspace data — tab URLs, group names, and tab states — is stored exclusively in Chrome’s local storage on your device. It is never transmitted to any server, synced to any external service, or accessible outside the browser.
