Honestly
Where each one wins, and where it falls short
Where OneTab wins
- One click turns a whole window into a list - the simplest gesture in the category.
- Two million Chrome users and 14,600 ratings: the most proven tool here.
- In 48 languages, and on Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
- Updated on 11 October 2026 in all three stores we checked.
Where OneTab falls short
- Nothing in its listing or site schedules a tab to come back - the list waits until you go back to it.
- Sharing uploads your list to a web page; it is the one feature that sends your tabs anywhere.
- The installed extension asks for tab access up front.
Where Tab Stash wins
- Stores tabs as real bookmarks, so Firefox Sync carries them everywhere with no extra account.
- Rated 4.6 from 607 ratings.
- Supports Firefox’s own tab groups, a sidebar view and recovery of deleted items.
- Free and open source.
Where Tab Stash falls short
- Firefox only, by design.
- Nothing in its listing schedules a stash to come back at a time.
The core difference
What actually separates OneTab and Tab Stash
Both clear a window of tabs into something you can restore. OneTab keeps its own list, on four browsers. Tab Stash is Firefox-only and stores stashed tabs as bookmarks, so Firefox Sync carries them everywhere with no extra account - and it exports in OneTab’s format.
What both miss
What OneTab and Tab Stash both miss
- Neither lists scheduling a stash to come back at a time.
- Neither lists reopening a page where you stopped reading.
- Both ask for tab access at install.
Where Latr comes in
Latr closes a tab with a time and reopens it on its own when that time comes, scrolled to the line you stopped reading. It also saves whole windows with their tab groups, manages your open tabs and keeps a library of pages - on Chrome, Edge and Firefox, with no account, and with no permission warning at install. It is new and small, and it has no phone app.
