Collapse your unfocused groups.
Auto Collapse makes the tab bar less distracting by collapsing all unfocused Tab Groups (the feature introduced in Chrome 89).
When you click on an ungrouped tab or a tab within one group, all other tab groups get collapsed.
Changelog:
*v1.1: Fixed timing bug during tab group focus.

- (2023-06-15) Ryan Antilla-Porter: Working exactly as I wanted it to so far. Thanks!
- (2023-05-22) Tripp (特伦): This is exactly what I need.
- (2023-04-15) Andrey Lutogin: glitch with cromecast
- (2022-11-27) Marilyn Gerrard: Great concept and worked well for a few hours but then completely stopped working. Please fix the extension
- (2022-10-08) Matias Morant: would be good if groups also collapsed when you click on a group (not only on a tab inside)
- (2022-08-23) Robert De Niro: Seems to work
- (2022-07-18) Dmitriy DHS: Awesome extension, works like a charm! It'd be nice if there was a way to disable it temporarily - like a click on the extension icon in the bar to toggle auto-collapsing (sometimes you just have to jump between the groups but disabling/enabling the extension itself is not easy at all). Thanks for the work!
- (2022-07-18) Bruno De Angelis: I'm not sure where to file bugs, so I'll do it here. Everything works perfectly except when switching tabs using the Tab Search (Cmd+Shift+A), if the tab I'm going to is from another tab group, the previous tab group doesn't collapse (basically the extension doesn't work in that scenario.) It'd be amazing if that could be fixed. Thank you!!
- (2022-06-05) Telmo Amaral: It works and it's really useful. It should be an option built into Chrome. Minor issue: often a small artifact shows up to the right of the last auto-collapsed group (example here: https://ibb.co/mFRv9QY). It seems that a bit from one of the tab icons in the group stays visible after the group is collapsed. Using Chrome 102. It would be nice if this extension worked better together with the "Open Last Tab" extension. As it is, the two extensions kind of work together, but nor perfectly.
- (2022-05-26) Stealthbat: First of all, I love this extension. However, as of late, it's stopped working whenever I first open up chrome. After I manually collapse all my group tabs, it starts working again. But once I close chrome it stops working till I've re-launched chrome and manually collapsed all group tabs. This extension use to work perfectly. But after I had to reinstall my OS, it stopped working. Please, please, PLEASE fix this! I beg you!
- (2022-04-27) Loris Stavrinides: Doesn't work
- (2022-04-10) Azhe Kun: I like Auto Collapse for Tab Groups Can limit expanded tab group to current tab group and prev tab group?
- (2022-03-04) Derek Kelly: Cannot get this to work on Version 99.0.4844.51 (Official Build) (64-bit).
- (2022-02-17) Ryan Ceroky: Works as described and can be useful. I would love to be able to limit the collapse to just one window, instead of all Chrome windows. When using multiple monitors with multiple windows and groups, I often want to look at 2 different windows at the same time. It would be helpful to only collapse groups within one window, not across all windows, thus keeping one group expanded in each window at all times.
- (2022-01-07) Nenad Bogdanovski: Just found out about it, really usefull!!! Thanks
- (2021-11-30) Haim Zamir: Want to use it, but it just isn't working for me on Chrome 95 at all. I've tried disabling/re-enabling, creating new groups, etc. Nothing. Maybe just maybe I'm different because I'm using a pair of chrome profiles? Extensions are enabled separately on each. I've got it on both profiles, but neither of them work.
- (2021-11-13) Kerry Johnson: Works well! Two options that would make it perfect for me: 1. Auto-collapse all but last active tab (this is handy when you are referencing and moving back and forth between two tabs) 2. Auto-collapse timer (prevent collapsing right away, helpful for misclicks)
- (2021-11-12) Sello Mkantjwa: Works perfectly. Thank you very much. - Sello
- (2021-10-06) Vladimir (cuqi): Very useful.
- (2021-10-03) Hayden Anderson: Bless you. Exactly what I was looking for. Works seamlessly.
- (2021-09-03) Kumar Rao: Amazing !! Took me at least an hour of Google searches before I found this extension which works right out of the box. It was frustrating to have tabs from so many groups I didn't want open and having to click them every time to close besides cluttering up my browser. Great job TabGroups Labs, keep it going!
- (2021-08-20) Kristopher Paulsen: Literally works perfectly right-out-of-the-box. Love it, really helps when using heavy tabgroup based workflows!
- (2021-08-07) Jaky Astik: Love this. Have been looking for your extensions for my profiles since I installed in one chrome workspace. Great work!
