A different way to bookmark tabs and share them!

OneTab is a very nifty chrome extension that can be used to group web pages together. The extension's purpose as is on its website is to reduce the memory hogged by your browser, but I use it slightly differently. It has not only helped me with keeping web pages on a related topic in a single place but also made sharing them easier.

The steps are pretty simple

  • Install the OneTab extension/add-on for your browser from here
  • Once you have installed it, open up all the pages which you want to group/share in a new window.
  • Click on the OneTab icon to collapse them into a list.
  • Once you are on the extension's page, click on "More... -> Name this tab group" in the tab group and give it a name. Now it's easy to refer to this in the future.
  • Additionally, if you want to share this with someone, click on "Share as web page", you'll get a link which you can then send across.

Obvious security caveats apply. Use this with discretion.

What I would like is for OneTab to offer a premium subscription plan which allows me to do periodic archives of my tab group for backup, and password-protected share of tab groups. Pretty please, OneTab? :)
