The best Tab Stash alternatives in 2026

Tab Stash, in a line: Firefox-only: stash batches of tabs into your bookmarks, organised into groups, synced by Firefox Sync. If it is not quite right, these are the extensions that cover the most of what it does, ranked by which of its features each one shares - with what they cost and where they run.

Facts read from each product’s own store listing and website on 13 October 2026. We make Latr, so it is listed first and marked as ours; the rest are ranked by the numbers.

    Latr Ours

    Tab snoozer

    Tab Stash makes stashed tabs into bookmarks, which is elegant: nothing new to trust, and Firefox Sync does the rest. Latr keeps its own library, which can also read and write your browser’s bookmarks, and adds the one thing a stash does not have - a time. Any page or saved window can be told when to come back, and it reopens by itself.

    Covers 5 of Tab Stash’s 5 features. Adds: brings a tab back at a time you choose, repeating reminders, reopens at the line you stopped reading, saves sessions automatically, manages every open tab, across windows, finds duplicate tabs, puts idle tabs away automatically, share a list of tabs, focus timer with site blocking.

    Unlike Tab Stash, it also runs on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Arc, and, like Tab Stash, it is free to start (Free; Pro is $19 once, for themes, sounds and extras).

    Choose Latr over Tab Stash if you want stashed tabs to come back at a time, or you use Chrome or Edge as well as Firefox.
