Description from store
An extension that allows to save, manage, and organize window sessions.
With a click of a button, automatically detects all changes in the tracked window, such as addition, deletion, update, move, and groupings of current and future tabs. Can reopen tracked windows that were closed, the reopen remembers your tab groups as well. No save button when closing a tracked window as it also atomically saves the window data. No need to reclick the track window button after opening a saved window as it knows you've decided to track it before.
Extension requirements permissions of:
-- Window data: The extension requires access to your windows, tabs, and tab groups but do not worry, all the process happens locally and data is never sent to an external server. You are free to check my GitHub repository where the code resides.

-- Storage: Extension saves your window data locally in your device. This is how the extension remembers what tabs, window name and tab groups are saved when you decide to auto track a window
Why did I make the extension:
I always have a lot of chrome windows open at the same time where each window is a collection. One for work, another for college, third for a class etc. I never closed windows because I didnt want to lose the tabs. I could control + shit + t to restore closed windows but then I would have 10+ windows making chrome horde a lot of ram which slowed my device a lot. I also tried using chrome's bookmark system to save, reopen, and manage windows but I disliked the ui and when opening a bookmarked folder, the data for grouped tabs would be lost. I then went to chrome extension store to find a tab/window manager but I realized all of them needed the user to manually click the save button before closing a window to save the tabs.
Being unhappy about chrome's bookmark system and existing tab/window managers in the chrome extension store, I decided to learn chrome's API which lead me to develop Auto Window Tracker
