Tab Graveyard

Bury the tabs you were never going to read.

A Chrome extension. One click closes the tabs that have gone untouched, and hands you a headstone with the number on it. Nothing is deleted — every tab stays searchable, and comes back with one click.

The card

61 tabs

 

Download the extension

The card above is drawn by card.js, the same file the extension ships — this is the render, not a picture of it. The tabs in it are invented; yours would be yours.

Nothing is deleted

Burying writes the tab to storage before it closes it. Search the graveyard forever; resurrect any of them with one click. Undo brings the whole batch back for ten minutes.

Nothing leaves the browser

Two permissions, tabs and storage. No background worker, no content script, no server, no account. The card is drawn on your own canvas.

Nothing you are using

Pinned tabs and the active tab in every window are never touched. You pick the age threshold — a day, a week, ninety days — and see the count before you commit.

Install it

  1. Download the zip above and unpack it.
  2. Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Load unpacked, and pick the folder you unpacked.
  4. Pin the tombstone to the toolbar and click it.

Chrome 121 or newer, for the tab last-access times the age threshold is measured from. Works in Edge, Arc, Brave and anything else Chromium.
