Count of open tabs in Chrome

readme.md

A quick technique to determine how many tabs are open in Chrome. After a bit of searching I couldn't find any useful solutions and didn't really want to install an extension to see my tab count. This approach uses the chrome.windows module to access the required info and thus must be run from an environment with the appropriate permissions. As such, it's simply a matter of co-opting any extensions background page and executing the script...

Usage

1. Open the Extensions page; ala chrome://extensions/

• Inspect the background page of any extension that has the Access Tabs permission
• Switch to the console tab and execute the included script
• Review the array of Window objects and their 'tabs' property for the tab count and additional details

countTabs.js

chrome.windows.getAll({populate: true}, function(allWindows)
{
    console.log(allWindows);
});

thanks! :)

For further reference:

chrome.windows.getAll({populate:true},function(windows){
  windows.forEach(function(window){
    window.tabs.forEach(function(tab){
      //collect all of the urls here, I will just log them instead
      console.log(tab.url);
    });
  });
});

No longer works. Sorry.

@alterisian it has just worked for me. I'm on Chrome 58.0.3029.110.

@Pastafarianist Does it still work? I'm on 59.0.3071.115 and can't use this functionality.

chrome.windows.getAll({populate:true},function(windows){
  var i=0; 
  windows.forEach(function(window){
    window.tabs.forEach(function(tab){
      //collect all of the urls here, I will just log them instead
      console.log(tab.url);
      i++;
    });
  });
  console.log(i);
});

Works for me in Chrome 61.0.3163.100 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Remember to open a page which has Access Tabs permission as mentioned in the original gist (I opened the extension page for OneTab for example, which I have installed and obviously had that permission).

OMG... I have 174 tabs open right now :O

extension page

I used Tampermonkey

OMG... I have 174 tabs open right now :O

r u kidding i've 2226 tab opened right now in 68 window one of them have 174 opened tab 😂

Thanks all esp, @jlewin @hfaran @rwilhelm really cool solutions all worked for me I made all solution + event listener that when the user open the new tab it counts all together in a simple Chrome Extension under this GitHub links 👍 +1
