Get Thicket for Chrome
Install it, and within seconds your open tabs become a short list of the things you're actually doing. No setup, no account required.
Add to Chrome — it's freeChrome 121 or newer. Works on Edge, Brave, and Arc too.
What happens next
- 1
Thicket looks at your open tabs — titles and addresses, right on your device.
- 2
A few seconds later: your tabs, grouped into the projects behind them.
- 3
Close a group when you're done with it. Everything stays recoverable.
The permissions, explained
Chrome will show you what Thicket can access. Here's the honest version of why:
- Read your browsing history (tabs)
- This is Chrome's blanket wording for seeing tab titles and addresses — the raw material for grouping. Thicket reads your open tabs; it does not read your browser history file.
- Tab groups
- So your Thicket groups can appear as native colored groups in the tab strip. You can turn the mirroring off.
- Storage
- Your groups, workspaces, and page memory live in the extension's local storage on your machine.
- Alarms
- Two scheduled jobs: a housekeeping flush, and a daily pass that deletes page memory older than 7 days. A background extension cannot hold a timer while it sleeps.
- Site icons
- Draws each site's icon next to its tab, using the copy Chrome already has. No favicon service is contacted, so no list of the sites you visit is sent anywhere.
- Not requested: access to websites
- Thicket asks for no access to any site, optional or otherwise. It cannot read the contents of a page, and Chrome will not show it on the permission list.
