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 Toby wins
- A visual board of collections on the new tab page, with drag and drop throughout.
- Shared spaces for teams, with unlimited members on every plan.
- Syncs to every computer you sign in on, with phone apps on iOS and Android.
- Version 2.0 shipped on the Chrome Web Store on 12 October 2026.
Where Toby falls short
- The free plan stops at 60 saved tabs per workspace.
- Removing duplicates and searching history are on paid plans.
- Nothing in its listing schedules a tab to come back at a time.
The core difference
What actually separates OneTab and Toby
OneTab is one list, free, with no account. Toby is a visual board of collections and spaces on your new tab page, built for teams and synced across computers and phones - free up to 60 saved tabs, then a subscription. OneTab is for getting tabs out of the way; Toby is for organising them into something you browse.
What both miss
What OneTab and Toby both miss
- Neither lists scheduling a tab 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.
