Tab Grouper Extension

Tab grouper is a chrome extension that allows you to automatically group all
tabs that match a given URL pattern. You create rules for each website saying
which URL pattern to match, the name of the tab group, and optionally a color,
and the extension will add matching websites to the appropriate tab groups as
you browse to them. For example, you could have all jira tickets in a single
group, all amazon pages in another, and all google search results in another.

For more details, see https://github.com/mivok/tabgrouper/blob/master/README.md

Questions/Answers:

Q: Why do you need the \"Can read your browsing history\" (or \"tabs\") permission?

Q: Why do you need the \"View and manage your tab groups\" permission?
A: The purpose of this extension is to automatically manage your tab groups for you, and so this permission is needed for the extension to work.
