Capture the tabs you want
Open the TabShare extension, tick the tabs or groups you want to share and optionally add short notes or a label so recipients get context.
Extension · Instant Sharing
Share a set of open browser tabs with one temporary link
TabShare converts the tabs you have open into a single, shareable URL. Your recipient opens that URL and can import the whole tab group in one action — no account, no messy copy-paste, and links automatically expire to reduce long-term exposure.

How it works
From open tabs to a single link — three steps
2
Create a single share link
TabShare packages the selected URLs and metadata into a compact, temporary link you can paste into chat, email, or a ticketing system.
3
Recipient imports in one click
When someone opens the link, they can import all tabs at once into their browser or open them one-by-one — whichever fits their workflow.
Tip: Use the label field to add short instructions, e.g., "For Monday meeting — open in order".
Features
Practical features that keep sharing focused
No signups or accounts
Start sharing immediately — recipients don't need to register or log in to import a tab group.
Temporary by default
Automatically expire recent shares to reduce accidental long-lived exposure. Export if you need permanent copies.
Lightweight and focused
Small extension footprint: one clear job, done quickly and reliably.
One-click import for receivers
Recipients restore context — tabs grouped and ordered as intended, saving time and confusion.
Use cases
How people use TabShare in real work
Researchers & students
Share reading lists, replicate research sessions, or hand off a curated set of references to a lab mate with notes and ordering preserved.
Remote teams
During async handoffs, package all resources for a ticket, meeting, or sprint review so teammates can open the exact set without chasing links.
Browser workflow examples
Design kickoff: bundle inspiration images, component docs, and issue links. Onboarding: send curated learning materials. Handoffs: collect tabs into a single pointer for the next person.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. TabShare is designed to share without signups or logins so sharing is immediate.
By default, recent shares auto-expire after a short period. If you need a permanent record, export the set as a bookmark file or save the link externally.
The link contains the target URLs, titles, and optional notes you add. It does not capture passwords, active session tokens, or form inputs.
Temporary shares are immutable for safety; create a new share if you need to change the set or notes.
TabShare provides best support for Chromium-based browsers via the extension. Recipients on other browsers can still open each URL from the share page.
We recommend not sharing authenticated or sensitive session links. TabShare does not transmit cookies or credentials; shared links only include the public URL and title.
No. TabShare keeps recent shares in local extension storage by default and purges ephemeral entries according to the retention policy described in our Privacy page.
Use the Contact page or open an issue on our GitHub repository — links are in the footer.
Yes. Add a short label or note when creating the share to help recipients open tabs in the intended order or with context.
If a share is still present in your recent list, you can manually delete it from the extension to revoke the link earlier than the auto-expiry.
