Description
If you're the kind of person with 40 tabs open and no idea which one has the thing you needed, the problem isn't you — it's that Chrome's horizontal tab bar was never designed for that many tabs at once. Leap fixes this by moving tabs to a vertical sidebar (like a file browser) and using AI to automatically group related tabs together, so a mess of windows becomes a searchable, foldered list.
Leap is a free Chrome extension that replaces the default tab bar with a vertical sidebar supporting nested folders (up to 3 levels), multiple workspaces for switching between projects or contexts, and cloud sync across devices. It positions itself as an alternative for people who liked Arc Browser's tab organization but don't want to switch browsers entirely.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you've got tab sprawl and liked what Arc Browser did with vertical tabs, Leap gives you that inside Chrome for free, permanently — there's no premium tier to eventually hit a paywall on.
OneTab and Workona are the usual comparisons: OneTab is more of a "suspend everything" tool (collapses tabs into a list to save memory) rather than an organizational sidebar, and Workona leans more toward paid team-workspace features. Arc Browser itself does this natively but requires switching your whole browser, which is a bigger ask than installing an extension. Leap's real limitation is platform lock-in the other direction — it only works in Chrome, so Firefox or Safari users are out of luck, and a few workspace types are still marked "coming soon."
