How to share browser tabs with someone

You’ve got 15 tabs open for a project. Your coworker needs to see them. Now what?

Copy each URL one by one? Email yourself a list? Screenshot your tab bar and hope they can read the titles?

None of these are good. Here’s what actually works.

The copy-paste problem

Browsers don’t have a “share these tabs” button. Your options are limited:

Copying URLs manually works for 2-3 tabs. More than that and it gets tedious. You’ll forget one.

Shared bookmarks folders require setup on both ends, sync slowly, and get messy fast.

Sending a text file or email means you have to format it, they have to click each link individually. Nobody enjoys this.

Screenshotting your tabs lets them see what you have open, but they can’t actually open anything. Useless.

For a single link, just copy-paste. But if you need to share a collection of tabs, you need something else.

What you actually want

One link that opens a page with all your tabs listed. They click it, see everything, open what they need.

Bonus points if they don’t need to install anything, you can organize tabs into groups, password-protect sensitive stuff, and revoke access later.

TabHaven does this. Save your tabs into a group, generate a share link, send it.

Use the browser extension to save tabs to a group. You can save all open tabs at once or pick specific ones.

Organize them if you want. Put related tabs in sub-groups. Name things clearly so your recipient knows what they’re looking at.

Open the group and click Share. TabHaven generates a unique link:

https://tabhaven.com/share/xxxxx

Copy it.

3. Send the link

Slack, email, text, whatever. Your recipient clicks the link and sees all the tabs, organized how you arranged them.

They don’t need a TabHaven account. They don’t need to install anything. They just click and browse.

Adding password protection

Sharing research for a project? A public link is fine.

Sharing something sensitive? Add a password.

When creating the share, enable password protection and set a password. Now the link alone won’t work. Recipients need both the link and the password to see the content.

Send them separately. Link in Slack, password in a text. Or however you handle credentials at work.

Keeping control of your shares

Shared something you shouldn’t have? Changed your mind?

Go to Settings > Shares to see all your active share links. You can deactivate a share temporarily (the link stops working but you can turn it back on later), delete it permanently, or change the password if you need to rotate access.

The recipient only sees what you want them to see, for as long as you want them to see it.

When to use this

Researching a topic for your team? Share your findings without a messy email thread.

Passing a project to someone else? Share all the relevant tabs in one go instead of explaining where everything is.

Onboarding someone or teaching them something new? Curate a set of resources they can work through.

Planning a trip with friends? Collect your hotel and restaurant options and share them for feedback.

Walking someone through a tech problem? Share the documentation and Stack Overflow threads you found so they can follow along.

Any time you think “I wish I could just show them what I’m looking at” you probably want this.

Wrap up

Browsers make it weirdly hard to share multiple tabs. Your options are copy-paste torture or awkward workarounds.

TabHaven lets you save tabs, generate a link, and share. Password-protect if needed. Revoke if needed.

Browsers should have built this in. They didn’t.
