A free Chrome tab organiser for students juggling five subjects

Five subjects, two assignment portals, a YouTube lecture, a Wikipedia rabbit hole and the LMS you actually have to submit on. All in one window, all the same colour.

Which Chrome tab manager is best for students?

Direct answer

Five subjects, two assignment portals, a YouTube lecture, a Wikipedia rabbit hole and the LMS you actually have to submit on. All in one window, all the same colour. Flocci Tabs fits this workflow because it groups and colours the tabs already open, automatically, using Chrome's native tab groups — no filing step, no saved-item cap, no account needed for the automatic part.

The actual problem

Study tabs and distraction tabs are visually indistinguishable, which is exactly how three hours disappear.

Colours this tab set gets

  • youtube.com → red #d93025
  • wikipedia.org → next free colour in rotation
  • drive.google.com → blue #1a73e8
  • gmail.com → red #d93025
  • scholar.google.com → next free colour in rotation

The workflow, step by step

  1. Drag the lecture out to its own window — red group, because youtube.com is hard-coded red, and red is a very effective “this is not studying” signal.
  2. Smart-group the rest with Ctrl + Shift + G; subject clusters get their own colours and names.
  3. Close Groups at the end of a session clears everything in one action.
  4. Automatic colour-grouping is free forever and needs no account at all.

What colours would my tabs get?
From this example set: youtube.com → red, wikipedia.org → free rotation, drive.google.com → blue, gmail.com → red, scholar.google.com → free rotation. Those come from the extension's fourteen built-in domain hints; anything unmatched takes the next unused colour in rotation.
Do I need to sign in?
Not for automatic colour-grouping, adjacent grouping, bulk actions or the keyboard shortcuts — those are local and free forever. Signing in with Google unlocks AI grouping, AI naming and cloud snapshots, with 300 AI credits a month included free.
