Check it out in Chrome Web Store!
What's New in Version 1.1.0
This major update brings a completely redesigned user experience with the introduction of a Side Panel UI, expanded export options, visual customization features, and significant under-the-hood improvements. Whether you work with data-heavy web applications, billing reports, registry lists, or any website featuring HTML tables, Tabulazer v1.1.0 delivers a more intuitive and powerful workflow than ever before.
New Side Panel Interface
The most significant addition in v1.1.0 is the new Side Panel UI, which provides a dedicated workspace for managing tables without cluttering your browsing experience. The Side Panel enables you to:
- Pick tables with an overlay picker — visually select any table on the page with a convenient overlay interface
- List all detected tables — see every HTML table on the current page and toggle them on or off individually
- Jump to specific tables — quickly navigate to and select any table on complex pages with multiple data grids
This new interface dramatically improves usability when working with pages containing numerous tables, eliminating the need to hunt through context menus or guess which table you're targeting.
Enhanced Export Features
Tabulazer v1.1.0 expands its data export capabilities with new formats and smarter export logic:
- Copy table data to clipboard — instantly paste table content into any application
- Download as CSV — standard comma-separated format for universal compatibility
- Download as XLSX — native Excel format powered by SheetJS
- Download as XML — structured data export for integration workflows
- Export current view or all rows — choose whether to export only the filtered/sorted results or the complete dataset
These export features make Tabulazer an essential tool for anyone who needs to extract and repurpose HTML table data into spreadsheets, databases, or other systems.
Visual Preferences and Customization
Version 1.1.0 introduces a range of visual options to tailor the table display to your preferences:
- Compact mode — reduce row height for denser data viewing
- Zebra rows — alternating row colors for improved readability
- Font size scaling — adjust text size to match your workflow
- Column chooser — show or hide columns as needed
- Layout persistence — remember your table layout preferences across sessions
Core Features
All the features that made the original Tabulazer release popular remain fully available and improved:
- Real-time column sorting — click any column header to sort (and reverse sort)
- Real-time column filtering — including quick full-text search across all columns
- Dynamic paging — configurable page sizes for handling very long tables
- Resizable columns — drag column borders to adjust widths
- Width enlarge to 100% — optional full-width display for improved readability

Tabulazer v1.1.0 is powered by Tabulator v6.3.0, the latest version of the excellent open-source table management JavaScript library created by Oli Folkerd. This update ensures compatibility with modern browsers, improved performance, and access to the latest Tabulator features.
