🔖 TabKeeper – Chrome Extension

TabKeeper is a simple and lightweight Chrome extension that helps you quickly save and manage important web page links while browsing.

When you have multiple tabs or web applications open in Chrome, it can be difficult to keep track of the pages you want to revisit. TabKeeper makes this easier by allowing you to save the current tab with one click or manually save any URL.

✨ Features

• 🔗 Save Input – Manually enter and save any website URL.
• 📑 Save Tab – Automatically saves the URL of the currently active Chrome tab.
• 🗑️ Delete All – Quickly clear all saved links.
• 💾 Persistent Storage – Saved links remain available when you reopen the extension.
• ⚡ Simple & Fast – Minimal interface designed for quick access.
• 🔒 No Account Required – Save links without signing in.

🖥️ How It Works

1. Save Input

Enter a website URL manually and click SAVE INPUT.

Example:

https://github.com

The link will be added to your saved links.

2. Save Tab

Open any webpage and click the SAVE TAB button.

TabKeeper automatically gets the URL of the currently active Chrome tab and saves it.

3. Delete All

Click DELETE ALL to remove all saved links from the extension.
