Vortex – Infinite spatial canvas for organizing web research

Summary: Vortex is a free, open-source Chrome extension that converts your browser into an infinite canvas where websites become draggable, resizable nodes connected by links. It visually maps your browsing path, reducing tab clutter and maintaining context during research.

What it does

It creates an interactive workspace where each clicked link spawns a new node connected to its parent, allowing users to arrange and explore websites spatially within the browser.

Who it's for

Researchers, students, designers, writers, and anyone who prefers visual organization over managing many browser tabs.

Why it matters

It solves tab overload by visually mapping web navigation, helping users maintain context and see connections between pages.
