One click throws your open tabs off the table, bouncing and trailing like the end of a game. They land in a list so you can deal any of them back whenever you want.
Free. No account. Nothing leaves your browser.
How it works
Tab Solitaire does one thing: it turns closing your tabs into the best part of a card game.
Hit the toolbar button, or press Alt Shift S. Choose to throw everything, or keep the tab you're on and throw the rest.
Each tab drops out of its spot in the tab strip as a card, bounces across the felt, and skids off the edge. Every card gets its own speed and bounce, like the real thing.
Your tabs land in a list grouped by hand. Click one to reopen it, or deal the whole hand back into the tab strip, card by card.
Features
Throw everything except the tab you're reading. Pinned tabs are never touched.
Restore a hand and a dealer flicks each card out of the deck, flipping it face-up into its old spot in the strip.
A synthesized thump on every bounce, scaled to how hard the card hits. One click to mute.
Alt Shift S throws all, Alt Shift K keeps one. Rebind them in Chrome's shortcut settings.
Hands stack up on the table with the time you threw them. Shift-click a tab to reopen it without removing it from the list.
Each card picks up the site's own color from its favicon. No screenshots, no page access.
Privacy
The extension asks for the least Chrome allows for this job. It reads tab titles and addresses so it can list them, and that is the whole story.

Yes. Each real tab closes the moment its card leaves the strip. They're saved to the list first, so nothing is lost. Think of it as a tab manager with a much better closing animation.
Pinned tabs are left alone, and only the current window is thrown. Other windows don't know anything happened.
Click any tab in the list to reopen it, or use "Deal them back" to restore the whole hand in order. Shift-click reopens a tab without removing it from the list.
That's Chrome's wording for the tabs permission, which is what gives an extension the title and address of your open tabs. Without it there'd be nothing to put on the cards. The extension stores that list locally and never sends it anywhere.
