About TabMagnet
What TabMagnet does, how its guidance is maintained, and who operates this independent Chrome extension.
Last updated: 2026-08-10
A small tool for a recurring browser problem
TabMagnet is an independently developed Chrome extension for people who want predictable tab placement. It lets a user choose where a newly opened tab appears and which neighboring tab becomes active after one is closed. The extension is free, does not require a TabMagnet account, and links to its public source repository so that its implementation can be inspected.
What this website provides
This website documents the extension's current behavior, setup choices, limitations, privacy boundary, and troubleshooting steps. It does not sell a subscription or promise that one arrangement is best for every workflow. Browser APIs and Chrome Web Store requirements change, so important technical details are checked against the current extension build and Chrome documentation before they are updated here.
Editorial standard
We distinguish features that exist today from ideas or future plans. We avoid invented user counts, testimonials, rankings, or performance claims. Articles are written for a specific reader question and should explain the tradeoff, not merely repeat keywords. Corrections are dated and material changes are reflected in the relevant guide.
Independence
TabMagnet is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or Chrome. Chrome and the Chrome Web Store are trademarks of Google LLC. References to browser products identify compatibility and do not imply a commercial relationship.
Operator and contact
The project is operated independently by the owner of TabMagnet and the linked littleben/TabMagnet source repository. Questions, corrections, privacy requests, security reports, and rights concerns can be sent to support@tabmagnet.com or through the Contact page.
