Side Copilot

Side Copilot works inside your browser side panel to help you manage tabs and windows, group related pages, search browsing history, summarize open tabs, chat with files, and automate repetitive browser workflows.

🤖 Why Side Copilot?

Chrome still lacks a native vertical tabs experience that feels complete. Side Copilot fills that gap with a fast, focused sidebar designed for people who live with dozens of tabs open.

Whether you are a student, marketer, developer, creator, designer, or researcher, Side Copilot helps you reduce tab clutter and stay in control of your workspace.

✨ Key Features

• 🧭 Vertical Tabs Sidebar for Chrome

View and manage your tabs in a clean vertical layout that is easier to scan than the default horizontal tab bar.

• 🗂️ Spaces for Tab Organization

Create separate Spaces for work, study, research, shopping, reading, or side projects. Keep different contexts organized without losing your place.

• 💾 Save, Restore, and Reorder Tabs

Save sessions, restore tabs and tab groups, and reorder everything with drag and drop.

• ☁️ Sync Across Browsers and Devices

Sign in once to sync your Spaces across Chrome and compatible browsers, so your tabs stay available wherever you work.

• 🔎 Fuzzy Search for Tabs and Spaces

Find the tab, group, or Space you need in seconds, even when you have a large number of tabs open.

Reduce browser memory usage by suspending inactive tabs when you need a lighter workspace.

Manage tab groups more efficiently from the sidebar, including grouping, moving, restoring, and organizing related tabs.

• 🔗 Group Guard and Auto Grouping

Automatically group tabs based on URL rules, domain patterns, or custom categories.

• 💬 AI Copilot Chat Mode

Chat with your current page or open tabs. Ask Side Copilot to summarize, explain, compare, or organize what you are browsing.

Go beyond chat. Ask AI to take action for you, such as managing tabs, grouping windows, searching browser history, and helping with browsing workflows.

• 📄 Chat with Files

Talk with PDFs, documents, images, and other files directly from your browser workflow.

• 📺 Chat with YouTube

Summarize videos, extract key points, and understand content faster without switching tools.

• faster research workflows with AI
• a more modern sidebar browsing experience

🪐 A smarter alternative to browser sidebars

If you like the idea of Arc Browser’s sidebar, Edge vertical tabs, Brave vertical tabs, Vivaldi’s Window Panel, or Zen Browser’s sidebar, Side Copilot brings that experience to Chrome, with added AI tools for browsing, research, and organization.

Side Copilot combines:

• vertical tabs manager
• tab session organizer
