Alternative for Slow Tab-Mix-Plus to Customize your Firefox and Chrome Tabs
One of the most popular reasons for using Firefox is its customization capabilities. Tabs are lovely and if you can control the tabs behavior, browsing will be more enjoyable. The only problem is high memory/RAM consumption with customized tabs.
Tab-Mix-Plus is a popular firefox addon that gives users great capabilities for customizing tabs. However, TMP is bit heavy on the resources and slows down your Firefox browser. Also, it has got lot of geeky features and advance settings which requires technical knowledge. So, TMP isn’t the right choice for an average user. Moreover, Tab-Mix-Plus may stop working with other addons and may not be compatible with the latest version of firefox.
Tab Mix Plus Alternative for Chrome:
As such there is no single alternative for TMP for Chrome, however, we have few extensions that together will replicate TBP’s features.
Point to be noted here is firefox addons has freedom to change underlying firefox code (that’s why you needed to restart firefox when you install any addon). But with Chrome, the extensions can only change the functionality of the loaded web page but not the core functions of Chrome. Chrome team wants to maintain higher security standards and hence does not allow extensions larger freedom as firefox does.
That being said, here are few extensions that will replicated TBP’s features:
1) Tab Plus: Simple options for tab management
2) Tab Outliner: Organize your tabs like a pro
3) Toggle Switch Recent Last Tab: To quickly to last used tab
4) One Tab: To convert tabs into list

Firefox is one and only the best ever browser and I am using that only for more than 5 years. I am using this addon in my browser right now.
Thanks to the info
Foxy Tab — Adds a lot of tab functionality to default Firefox tabs, but since I added it, I haven’t noticed the slowdown I was getting with Tab MIx Plus.
There is no replacement for the old TabMix the root cause is major change in addons api and the consequence is that today browsers have less than ten percent of options to configure behavior then the old one. RIP
