Why domain grouping helps
Pages from one website can be scattered across Safari windows and separated by unrelated tabs. Selecting them manually is possible but requires finding every occurrence first. A domain group turns the website into a visible review set without moving the live tabs.
A shared domain does not mean every page is disposable. One group may contain a draft, a dashboard, documentation and several finished searches. Expand it before acting.
Use Safari selection for a small known set
If all relevant tabs are visible, Command-click each one and close the selection. Shift-click is useful for a contiguous range. These built-in methods are precise and need no extension.
When the pages are dispersed, TabCaptain's domain view is faster to inspect. Expand the group to inspect each page. Use a tab’s × to close it individually, or the group header’s × to close the reviewed set.
Avoid closing useful state
Save form work, finish uploads and note any playback or application state before closing. Safari history or TabCaptain closed-tab history can reopen addresses, but a website may not restore unsaved state. If the website group represents a reusable project, a saved session may be more appropriate than deletion.
- Expand the full domain group.
- Keep pages with live or unsaved state.
- Use individual close for selective cleanup.
- Use a group action only after review.
