TabSaver
Chrome extension that saves and restores tab sessions with one click.
Investment thesis
TabSaver taps Chrome Web Store distribution with a small MV3 build. Free incumbents are entrenched but stale; the open question is whether Pro conversion and retention hold.
Power users lose work when sessions vanish; sync and reliability justify a small fee.
Strong free incumbents; browsers add native tab grouping.
Reliable sync and a modern UI where incumbents feel abandoned.
Low risk — this is a browser utility, not an AI workflow.
