Description from store
"Super Tab Sorter" is a free and open-source Google Chrome extension for people who want user-customizable tab sorting and grouping. This is a more feature-rich version of Simple Tab Sorter, designed to contain feature requests that might conflict with Simple Tab Sorter's design goals of remaining "Simple" and lightweight.
In addition to standard URL or title-based sorting, its "killer features" are:
1. Respects Google Chrome's Tab Groups.
2. "Sort By URL" sorts by domain, sub-sorts by host name.
3. "Sort By Custom" is like "Sort By URL", with the ability to simply override the order of tabs manually - demonstrated in https://github.com/pwhite2/super-tab-sorter/blob/master/STS_Custom_Sort_Demo.mp4
4. Optional dedupe while sorting.
5. User configurable sort behavior for handling tabs suspended by extensions derived from The Great Suspender (please review the User Guide under Options for configuration instructions).
If you encounter any issues, or have ideas for improvements, submissions at https://github.com/pwhite2/super-tab-sorter/issues and pull requests are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

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.

- (2025-06-18) Danilo Marcolongo: Magical, thanks a lot!
- (2025-06-03) Michael Voit: Works as it should! :)
- (2025-01-01) Sterling Freeman: Neat tool! The `Sort by URL` options work as expected. Only taking off a star because of a buggy custom option. Context: The default tab ordering is 'Right to Left'. To reverse this ordering, you need to switch from `Sort by URL` to `Custom` and then switch the dropdown option to to `Left to Right`. For my workflow and the types of sites I tend to visit, the `Left to Right` would be strongly preferred. Will update rating once fixed. May also review the code and submit a PR if time allows it. In the meantime, all I can say at first glance is that the custom sorting seems to perform a local sort instead of the default global (per window) sort you get in `Sort by URL`. Seems like this is leading to inconsistencies whenever I try to sort with custom sort (even when I leave all the other sorting options unchanged).
- (2024-09-01) webber: sweet ext! but do have a question how does this diff from super tab sorter?any diff at all? just wondering if one offers more features than the others. thanks bro for extension again --- webber
- (2024-06-19) Leon Lee: Compared to [simple tab sorter], this new one is still simple but wonderful ! Sorting by root domain is a wise choice. 🤓 A hotkey will be a great improvement.
- (2024-05-15) Martin Bridges: Did the job and respected tab groupings (in Edge).
- (2024-05-07) Jonas Tobias Hopusch (jotoho): Due to the severe accusations of another review, I have taken the time to skim over the source code inside the GitHub repository linked in the extension overview, and did not find any concerning code as of commit c3d6fb4. Certainly nothing that would even suggest data transmission/theft. The permissions for this extension as defined in the manifest seem benign and minimalist. Presuming that the files in the repository match what was uploaded to the webstore (because I am not THAT paranoid yet), I believe its safe to assume that the other reviewer either lied or spoke out of ignorance, unless and until convincing proof is provided. The reason why I'm "only" granting 4 out of 5 stars, is because I'm not convinced one extra checkbox (deduplicate tabs) justifies a separate extension vs Simple Tab Sorter (by the same author), at this time. Sincerely, a student of computer science.

- (2024-01-11) Josiah Thomas: Not sure what the one start review is about. Maybe it isn't a 5, but it is far closer to that than 1. It is my main tab sort extension on chromium-based browsers at the moment. I felt like I should rectify the overall rating.
