Tab Group Manager exends the native Tab Groups in Chrome letting you store, sync and resume them anytime and anywhere.
Tab Group Manager extension automatically stores the tab groups you create as a bookmark group so you can sync and restore them anytime and anywhere you want.
Tab groups are stored under a bookmark folder `Other Bookmarks > Tab Group Manager`. Everytime you open a new tab, close an opened tab or navigate a tab to a new page in the tab group, the stored bookmark gets updated, so they are always in sync.
* To change the group name, change the tab group name on Chrome.
* To change the group color, change the tab group color on Chrome.
* Closing an opened tab in a tab group on Chrome gets automatically synced, but you can also click on a close icon beside the tab in the Tab Group Manager to have the same effect.
* Closing an opened tab group on Chrome leaves the group left in the Tab Group Manager, but you can also click on a close icon beside the tab group in the Tab Group Manager to have the same effect.
* Remove a stored tab group from Tab Group Manager just by clicking on the trash bin icon beside the tab group.
* Quickly search through the stored tab groups and tabs in the Tab Groups Manager using the search bar at the top.
* When a tab group stored in Tab Group Manager is out of sync with Chrome's, click on the reload icon at the top right corner of the Tab Group Manager to force resync.
Tips:
* To open a tab group in a new window, click the tab group with "Shift" key in the Tab Group Manager.
* To open a tab group without focusing on the opened tab, click the tab group with "Option" key on Mac or "Windows" key on Windows in the Tab Group Manager.

- (2023-11-23) Martin Wegmann: ⸻ (1) - 11/2022 ⸻ Hello Eiji Kitamura, I appreciate your extension and especially like the concept behind it. Could you take a look at the following bug? When I choose orange or purple as tab color, then the tab title appears in white font on white background in the tab overview of the Tab Group Manager. As a result, the tab title is not readable there. Many thanks to you. EDIT 11/04: Bug is already fixed. No problems with tab colors any more. : ) PS Will you continue to maintain this extension, and is this the right place to post issues? Thanks for your efforts. : ) ⸻ (2) - 11/2023 ⸻ Hi Eiji, thanks for providing the Tab Group Manager, I really like it for its simplicity and still use it a lot. I experience no technical issues in 11/2023. : ) During my usage last year, I came across the following: Some of the applications I use automatically log out within 30 minutes. Then the URL changes to ".../logout.htm". This is saved automatically. When I reopen the tab group, I have to get the start URL again and copy it into the tab group, which is a bit cumbersome. Would it be possible to provide an option next to each tab group in the group list that prevents the group content from being updated automatically? Or could you even provide this feature for the URLs within the group as well? Thank you for considering this. Martin

- (2023-04-24) Heath “rolltidehero” B.: Very nice! The only features that seem to be missing are: 1. Save Tab Groups (Manually and Automatically) 2. Create Tab Groups (Using custom rules like regex and domains) 3. Backup & Sync (Across multiple devices) If it is open-source, I would be happy to contribute. Please forgive me if these features are already implemented but I just haven't found them.

- (2023-02-27) Blaize Wallace: Worked well when it worked, but as of yesterday is no longer registering any tab groups... =/
- (2023-02-10) Eric Shienbrood: The extension works very well, but there's one problem. It seems to capture the ctrl-P character and uses it to open the extension. Unfortunately, it does this unconditionally, even in full screen apps. This means that I can't use ctrl-P in applications like Cider-V or Chrome Remote Desktop. Is it possible to provide some way to disable this, or make the activation key configurable, or better yet, have the extension detect when a full-screen app has the current focus and simply not respond in that case?
- (2022-12-21) Okiss Liu: Awesome!! But it's a little strange when group is named in Chinese.
- (2022-09-24) Troy Robinson: EDIT 09/24: Seems to be working again. Not sure if the developer made an update or if the extension has just been finicky with my browser. EDIT 09/19: Dropped my review down to two stars because the extension is no longer retrieving my tab groups. Suddenly said "No Tab Groups Found." The extension was otherwise performing well. Brilliant concept: Tab Group Manager is such a simple way to manage tabs and persist them using Google's own tab groups and bookmarks. Pretty much exactly what I've been looking for for years. To the creator: thank you for making this! One request, if you could enable, within the manager list window: 1. sorting the saved tab groups :) Bonus needs: 2. sorting tabs within those list-view groups, 3. moving tabs between groups from list-view, 4. selecting multiple tabs to move. 5. adding-to/deleting a tab within a group without opening the whole group in chrome. 5. keeping the group saved and synced even when it is opened. Really though, number 1 is the only essential one for our workflow. Thanks again!
- (2022-09-11) Ed: YES! Exactly what I was looking for! How are no other extensions leveraging native tab groups & bookmarks? One more thing that might be nice to have is a way to store the tab group color, maybe by creating a meta bookmark within the folder that includes that info?
- (2022-08-23) Yaman: I can't believe this isn't one of the most widely used extensions. It's so useful and easy to use with a simple interface. If you like using Tab Groups in chrome, this extension is a MUST HAVE. It could use a better description but the image shown is fairly self-explanatory: When you make tab groups they are saved under this extension and you can reference, close, or reopen tab groups and their corresponding tabs at any time and also from any device. Great organizational tool!
