Introduction
I’m writing this article to share how my new tool - One Tab Group, a Chrome extension, went from 0 users to 1000+ in just 100 days.

One Tab Group was launched on Jul 12th, 2022 with just one user and within 100 days the number of users has grown to 1000+! This article will share some insights about how this happened and what I learned along the way.
You don't need OneTab
OneTab is a Chrome extension that allows you to save all your tabs and tab groups in one session with a single click. It’s one of the most popular Chrome extensions, with over 2 million downloads. It allows you to save all your tabs in one session with a single click.
Tab hoarder
I have been using OneTab for quite a while before and it is one of my favorite Chrome extensions.
When I was working on one of my projects recently, I suddenly realized that it was becoming quite hard for me to manage multiple tabs and their corresponding tab groups in the browser. So, I started looking for some kind of solution that could help me manage tabs better.
Tab Groups
Chrome has been supported the Tab Groups feature on May 2020. A tab group is a collection of tabs that you can organize into groups. Each group has its own set of settings and actions, so you can easily manage your tabs.
The reason why I don't use OneTab anymore
After some research, I found out about The “OneTab” Extension, there were some reviews and comments on this extension saying that they would like to see it open multiple groups at once instead of just opening one group at a time so I decided to make this happen
On Jul 12th, 2021, I started developing One Tab Group
On Jul 12th, 2020, I started developing One Tab Group. It took me around one year to develop the first stable version of this extension. Some of the key features that were added in this release include Tab Group management and synchronizing the Open Tabs/Tab Groups.
The extension works without sending any data over the network or storing it anywhere outside the local machine which means you don’t have to worry about your privacy being compromised while using it.
On Jul 12th, 2022, I launched a new extension called One Tab Group.
This new extension also features some new features like the ability to manage your tab groups and synchronize the open tabs/tab groups.
As of today, Oct 25th, 2022, it already reached 1000+ users.
Our extension One Tab Group reached 1000+ users in 100 days.
We are really excited about this and want to thank everyone who has helped us reach this milestone!
