Tab management

Grouping, muting, pinning and sleeping — dozens of tabs stay findable.

Having many tabs open is fine; not finding the right one is the problem. Sogou Browser groups tabs by site, lets you pin the ones you always need, puts idle tabs to sleep, and folds related tabs into a group.

Everyday actions

Right-click a tab for pin, mute, duplicate, close others or add to group. Pinned tabs shrink to the left; tabs playing audio show a speaker icon you can mute in one click.

  • Pin frequent tabs, they survive restarts
  • Mute any tab that is playing audio
  • "Close tabs to the right" and "close others"
  • Drag a tab out into its own window

Tab sleeping

Tabs that stay inactive go to sleep automatically, freeing the memory they hold; the title dims. Clicking wakes them at the same scroll position.

  • Sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity by default
  • Sleeping frees memory but keeps position
  • Add busy sites to a never-sleep list
  • When memory is tight, the least recently used tab sleeps first

Groups and search

With too many tabs, group related ones together, or search tabs by title — type a keyword and matching pages are listed.

  • Automatic grouping suggestions by site
  • Groups can be named, colored and collapsed
  • Tab search matches titles and URLs
  • Recently closed tabs reopen in one click

FAQ

Do sleeping tabs lose what I typed?

No. Sleeping only releases rendering resources; form content and scroll position are preserved and restored on wake.

How many tabs can I open?

There is no hard limit — it depends on device memory. With sleeping enabled, an ordinary office machine handles dozens of tabs comfortably.
