Troubleshooting & feedback
Fixes for common problems, and how to report one so we can help quickly.
A site won't show in a grid cell
Click Reload on that cell first. Some sites don't allow being shown inside other pages; TabTerrace then shows a message with Open in new tab and Split with grid. You can also use Restore as tab on the cell to turn it back into a normal tab.
A video keeps loading or a page looks wrong in a cell
Use Open in split view instead from that cell's tools. Split view shows the page in its own tab, exactly as Chrome normally would. See Split view.
A keyboard shortcut does nothing
Check the conditions first: merging needs at least two selected tabs, and splitting needs exactly two. Then open chrome://extensions/shortcuts — if another extension already uses the same keys, Chrome leaves TabTerrace's shortcut unassigned, and you can set your own there. See Shortcuts.
Split view isn't available
Split view needs a recent version of Chrome (155 or later). Update Chrome from Settings → About Chrome. Until then, TabTerrace opens those pages in a new tab.
A grid stopped responding after TabTerrace updated
Reload the grid tab. Your pages and layout come back as they were.
Radio, weather, holidays or backgrounds don't load
These come from public services on the internet. Check your connection; some networks, VPNs or proxies block a few of these services. Everything else keeps working.
Clicking the icon opens a popup instead of the dashboard (or the other way round)
Change it in Settings → General → Clicking the extension icon opens.
I reinstalled and lost my grids
Uninstalling removes TabTerrace's local data. If you turned on Google Drive backup or exported a JSON file, restore it from Settings → Data & backup. See Backup & restore.
I want to remove Google Drive access
In Settings → Data & backup, set Automatic backup frequency to Manual only, then remove TabTerrace from your Google Account's third-party connections.
