A LITTLE MORE CONTROL FOR CHROME
Unexpected tabs and redirects can turn one click into a detour. TabLock helps keep your chosen tab right where you want it.
THE IDEA IS SIMPLE
01 / HOW IT WORKSPut TabLock to work when you need it. Your other tabs are yours to use as usual.
Head to the site you want to keep open in Chrome.
Click the TabLock icon, then choose Lock this tab.
TabLock attempts to stop unwanted pop-ups and redirects. Unlock whenever you want to navigate normally.
BEFORE & AFTER
This real-world test shows an unwanted tab opening before TabLock is enabled, then the same page protected after it’s locked.
WHAT’S INSIDE
02 / FEATURESA focused extension for the tab that needs it.
TabLock attempts to intercept common pop-ups, new tabs and redirects in a locked tab.
A counter in the extension shows blocked attempts for your protected tab.
Start with Standard mode, or try Strict network blocking for more stubborn navigation attempts.
TabLock can’t stop every type of pop-up or redirect. Some links and site features may not work while a tab is locked; unlock it when you need to navigate.
GOOD TO KNOW
A little context before you lock in.
No. You choose the tab to protect and turn the lock on from the extension. Protection applies to that tab, and you can unlock it at any time.
Standard mode intercepts common pop-ups and navigation attempts. Strict mode adds network blocking for the protected tab and may briefly show a browser error or prevent navigation until you unlock.
No browser extension can promise that. Some pop-ups or redirects may get around TabLock, and some sites may behave differently when protection is on.
TabLock is designed for ordinary HTTP and HTTPS webpages in desktop Chrome. Browser-internal pages such as chrome:// pages and the new-tab page can’t be protected.
The current Chrome version keeps its tab-lock state in browser storage and does not include analytics or send it to a TabLock server. Read the privacy details.
