Chrome tab grouping for writers with a draft, a brief and nine sources

The draft, the brief, the style guide and nine sources you must not lose. Writing is fine. Finding the source you half-remember, in a strip of identical tabs, is what breaks the flow.

Which Chrome tab manager is best for writers and editors?

Direct answer

The draft, the brief, the style guide and nine sources you must not lose. Writing is fine. Finding the source you half-remember, in a strip of identical tabs, is what breaks the flow. 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

Losing the thread costs more than losing the tab — every hunt through the strip is a broken sentence.

Colours this tab set gets

  • drive.google.com → blue #1a73e8
  • wikipedia.org → next free colour in rotation
  • notion.so → grey #5f6368
  • twitter.com → cyan #007b83
  • gmail.com → red #d93025

The workflow, step by step

  1. Sources go into one window, the draft into another; each becomes its own coloured group on the first drag.
  2. Wikipedia and reference material collect under the green Research template; Drive stays blue.
  3. Adjacent grouping keeps each follow-up link with the source that spawned it.
  4. Grey Notion tabs recede on purpose, so the loud colours are always the live work.

Which Chrome tab manager is best for writers and editors?
The draft, the brief, the style guide and nine sources you must not lose. Writing is fine. Finding the source you half-remember, in a strip of identical tabs, is what breaks the flow.

What colours would my tabs get?
From this example set: drive.google.com → blue, wikipedia.org → free rotation, notion.so → grey, twitter.com → cyan, gmail.com → red. 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?
