About

Tab Reuser

Features
Read full description

Tab Reuser is a simple Safari extension that helps you manage browser tabs by automatically reusing existing tabs when you click on links to matching websites. Say goodbye to tab overload and hello to a more organized browsing experience! Key Features: - Smart Tab Management: Automatically opens links in existing tabs when they match your specified websites, keeping your browser clean and organized. - Customizable Website Rules: Create a personalized list of websites that should always open in existing tabs rather than creating new ones. - Domain or Path Matching: Match by simple domain (like "apple.com") or use more specific path elements (like "mail.google.com/mail"). - RegEx: Use regex for more complex domain path matching. - Auto Mode: Instead of configuring individual domains, prevent opening duplicate tabs for any website, not just those in your list. - Quick Add Options: Add new rules manually or with one click for your current site. - Override With Command/Control Key: Temporarily bypass Tab Reuser by holding Command (⌘) when clicking links (external keyboard required). - Responsive Design: Works perfectly with a single license across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Dark Mode Support: Fully compatible with your device's appearance settings. How It Works: When you click a link that matches one of your specified URL patterns, Tab Reuser intercepts the navigation, looks for an existing tab with the same pattern, and loads the new URL in the existing tab instead of opening a duplicate tab. This helps maintain a cleaner browser environment with fewer redundant tabs. Known Limitations: - Due to the way Safari intercepts new tab events, a new tab may temporarily open for a second or less. - Tab Reuser needs permissions to know what tabs you have open to redirect new links to existing tabs Tab Reuser respects your privacy, operates entirely on your device, and doesn't collect any data.
