This Browser Extension Lets You Snooze Open Tabs Until Later
The free add-on Tuck brings one of the best features of modern email—the ability to hide something for a bit—to that tangle of tabs in your browser.
Snoozing open browser tabs for later use is now possible with a free extension called Tuck, available for major browsers like Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Arc, and Vivaldi. The extension, which works similarly to Gmail's "snooze" feature, allows users to hide tabs from view until a later time. Options include "Later today," "Tomorrow," "Weekend," and "Next week."
Users can also set a custom time using natural language processing, such as typing "Monday at 2 pm" to schedule a tab to reopen then. The extension automatically closes idle tabs after a set period—24 hours by default, with options for three hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, three days, or seven days. Tabs pinned to a tab group or from a specific domain won't close.
Tuck doesn't require an account and doesn't collect personal information. It syncs tabs between devices using the browser's built-in syncing functions, like Chrome sync with Google accounts or Firefox Sync. However, there's no mobile app, so the extension can only be used on a computer. While Tuck can't change users' tab-browsing habits, it helps manage and organize open tabs more effectively.
