Researcher with multiple screens managing dozens of research tabs

Research Tab Chaos? We Get It.

Academic research demands managing massive tab collections. Your browser isn't built for this. TabControl is.

50+ Tabs for a Single Paper
Literature reviews quickly spiral into dozens of open tabs - papers, citations, references, and related articles that you can't afford to lose.
Different Projects = Different Tab Sets
Switching between research projects means closing everything and losing context, or keeping hundreds of tabs open simultaneously.
Can't Lose That Paper You Found 3 Hours Ago
That perfect source you discovered deep in your research session? One accidental close and it's gone forever. No way to recover it.
Memory Crashes During Important Work
Safari crashes from tab overload right before a deadline. All your carefully collected sources vanish in an instant.
