Tab Search Cleanup is a free Chrome extension developed by gombosh that aims to help users declutter their browser tabs. With this extension, users can easily close multiple tabs based on a pre-defined search list.

Many of us end up with numerous open tabs at the end of the workweek, making it difficult to start fresh on a new week. Oftentimes, these tabs are duplicates or temporary search tabs that will be reopened in the future. Tab Search Cleanup addresses this issue by allowing users to define a search list and automatically close all tabs that match the URLs in the list.

The extension's interface is straightforward and user-friendly. Simply click on the extension icon to open the popup, enter the desired search text in the text box, and press "add" or "enter" to add it to the search list. Users can add multiple search strings, which will be saved for future use. To remove a search string, simply click on it in the list.

Once the search list is set, users can click on "Close Tabs" to close all tabs that match the search list. After the tabs have been closed, users can access the "Last Closed Tabs" feature to view a list of the closed tabs and restore any tabs that were closed by mistake or still needed. Additionally, users can also utilize the built-in history feature in Chrome to track closed tabs.

Overall, Tab Search Cleanup is a practical and efficient tool for Chrome users who want to streamline their tab management. By providing a simple way to close tabs based on a search list, this extension helps users declutter their browsing experience and start each week with a clean slate.
