The core difference
What actually separates Snooze Tabs and Tab Snooze
The two snoozers people mean when they search for one. Snooze Tabs is Mozilla’s, on Firefox, last updated in April 2024. Tab Snooze is the open-source continuation of the classic Chrome snoozer, updated in September 2026, with repeats, a dashboard and todos. One browser each - there is no overlap.
What both miss
What Snooze Tabs and Tab Snooze both miss
- Each runs on one browser only.
- Neither lists reopening a page where you stopped reading.
- Neither lists saved windows or a tab manager.
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.
