Or you could manage them practically by treating your online window like an operating system.

Its like a sophisticated version of Chromes bookmark and tab-sorting features.

And it rescues you from tab overload without punishing you for it.

And unlike the similar extensionToby, Workona treats your tabs more like active workspace than an archive.

Workonas second premise is thatyou can break your tabs into sets.

With Workona, I can split those tabs into different workspaces, and everything feels more manageable.

Workonas main interface is a pinned tab that sticks to all your surfing app sessions.

(Your pinned tabs stay pinned.)

you’re free to drag tabs from one workspace to another.

You might already use multiple windows and bookmark sets in Chrome.

But Google hasnt meaningfully updated those features in years, and they feel clunky.

Workona unifies and streamlines both in a way that feels respectful of your workflow.

Get used to the workflow

Unifying tabs with bookmarks feels weird.

Workonas workspaces are linked to Chromes windows; its search is connected to your internet tool history.

But saved tabs arent linked to Chromes bookmarks.

Moving tabs out of the way might make you forget them.

But so far Ive found that I come back to workspaces when I need them.

(The upcoming pro version includes unlimited workspaces for $6 a month.)

Once youre in Workona,youre in.

Theres not really an off mode unless you suspend the extension.

I also dont love that Workona takes over my new tab page.

It wont leave its hooks everywhere.

After uninstalling extensions that littered my Gmail with specialized labels, this is a relief.

Its more active than messaging links to each other, but less invasive than screen sharing.

Its useful for things like comparison shopping with your partner or researching a group project.

The caveat is that everyone involved needs to have Workona installed.

And that means everyone committing to this extension, or disabling it when the shared session is over.

Boomerang, Lifehackers favorite email extension, adds all the time-shifting features that should come bundled with Gmail.

Workona adds the tab management features that should come bundled with Chrome.

Hopefully Workona will grow and evolve as Boomerang did.

Because Im done waiting for Chrome to add these features itself.
