FAQ

Common questions

What browsers does it work in?

Chromium-based browsers, installed from the Chrome Web Store. That covers Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera.

Is it really free?

Yes. The tab manager is free with no account and no card. Plus adds advanced features and is currently free during launch on a pay-what-you-want model, so right now it costs nothing at all. Pricing changes after launch.

Does it need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no server holding anything. Install it and press Alt+P.

Can my browsing data leave my computer?

No. There is no analytics, no telemetry and no data collection. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your tabs, history and bookmarks never go anywhere.

What does memory management actually do?

It suspends tabs you are not using, which frees the RAM they were holding while keeping them open and searchable. Your twenty open projects stop costing you a slow browser.

I use a tiling window manager. Will it work?

Yes, but Advanced Launcher Mode needs the popup told to float and centre. For i3 add floating enable and move position center for the window titled ArkTabs. For bspwm add a rule marking ArkTabs floating and centred. For awesome, add a rule with floating true and centred placement.
