How It Compares
- Versus OneTab: While OneTab consolidates all open tabs into a single list for later restoration, Toby offers a more robust, categorized approach with named collections and workspaces, allowing for highly structured organization rather than just simple saving.
- Versus Native Tab Groups: Toby provides persistent and shareable collections that extend beyond temporary browser sessions, offering cross-device synchronization and a dedicated dashboard for managing resources, which native tab groups typically lack.
