Description from store
"Simple Tab Sorter" is a free and open-source Google Chrome extension for people who want quick and easy user-customizable tab sorting and grouping.
In addition to standard URL or title-based sorting, its "killer features" are:
* Respects Google Chrome's Tab Groups.
* User configurable sort behavior for handling tabs suspended by extensions forked from The Great Suspender (please review the User Guide under Options for configuration instructions).
* Simple manual override of tab group sort order.
Bug reports are welcome at https://github.com/pwhite2/simple-tab-sorter/issues. If you want additional functionality, please take a look at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/super-tab-sorter/jjhppbooocacaccnhjninhmigbfmpnkh instead.
Thanks!
Peter
PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING AND SUBMITTING NEGATIVE REVIEWS:
1. Simple Tab Sorter v0.4.0 and later require Chrome version 88 or later. If you're using an older version of Chrome, you can manually install v0.3.3 by following the instructions at https://github.com/pwhite2/simple-tab-sorter#install-as-an-extension-from-source .
2. "Read your browsing history" permission warning during install in versions 0.4.0 and later...
Chrome changed the permissions message for "tabs" permissions for manifest v3 extensions. The new release (0.4.0) isn't doing anything with the tabs API that it wasn't doing before - i.e., it doesn't have access to your browser history, just the currently open tab URLs which are required to sort by URL.
You can see the requested permissions for this extension at https://github.com/pwhite2/simple-tab-sorter/blob/master/src/manifest.json. The developer documentation for the "tabs" API (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/tabs) states:
"The "tabs" permission
This permission does not give access to the chrome.tabs namespace. Instead, it grants an extension the ability to call tabs.query() against four sensitive properties on tabs.Tab instances: url, pendingUrl, title, and favIconUrl."
As you'll see, there is NO mention of "history" anywhere in the "chrome.tabs" developer documentation. To have access to your browsing history, an extension would have to specify "history" in the manifest.json permissions, which you can verify this doesn't, as documented at https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/history.

- (2024-01-04) Paolo Bugnone: The extension was updated and after I clicked is sorted the tabs of EVERY CHROME WINDOW I HAD opened messing up the order I was used to, why change something like that without a big warning ffs.
- (2023-12-27) Wesley Williams: Updated review: Great extension that I've used for years. There was a little hiccup recently with Chrome (see my original review) that had me worried about privacy, but Peter has written in detail about that issue in his response and so I'm happy to correct my review. Original review: This was a great extension until it added the ability to look at your browsing history. Chrome disabled the extension automatically as a result. Remove that and I'll be happy to give 5 stars.
- (2023-12-20) Andrew Fan: No sure if it is due to my chrome is outdated, (I am in Win 7), the extension doesn't work after upgrade, it doesn't sort correctly.
- (2023-09-13) Егор Кларк: The extension is a gem! Compatible with marvellous suspender which means it not only sorts all the tabs that were put to sleep but also moves the active tab to the end.

- (2021-07-14) Advait Sinha: Great extension!! It works perfectly, does not disturb pinned tabs, The 'custom' option is somewhat confusing to use, but the url and title sort is more than enough for most users.
