Managing Your Tabs
Display Modes
TabSight offers two ways to view your tabs:
Grouped Mode (default)
- Tabs organized by browser window
- Window name shown as section header
- Collapse/expand individual windows
- Visual hierarchy for better organization
Compact Mode
- Flat list of all tabs across all windows
- Best when you have few windows but many tabs
- Faster scanning when you know what you are looking for
Switch between modes using the mode picker in the header toolbar.
Switching Tabs
- Click any tab in the list to switch to it
- The browser brings the window forward and activates that tab
- The dock remains visible so you can switch again quickly
Searching Tabs
- Type in the search bar at the top of the expanded dock
- Results filter in real-time as you type
- Matches against both tab title and URL
- Works in both grouped and compact modes
- Clear search with the X button or by deleting text
Closing Tabs
- Hover over any tab to reveal the close button (X)
- Click the X to close that tab in the browser
- The tab list refreshes automatically
Opening New Windows
- Click the New Window button in the header toolbar
- Opens a new browser window (choose Safari or Chrome)
- The new window appears in the tab list on next refresh
Favicons
- Each tab shows a small favicon for quick visual identification
- Favicons are loaded from Google's favicon service
- Only the domain name is sent (not the full URL)
Privacy note: Favicon loading sends only the domain (e.g.
github.com) to Google's service. No page paths, query parameters, or personal data are transmitted. See Privacy & Security for details.
