better-onetab Extension

This a better onetab extension

Storing and grouping tabs are very useful. Onetab could help you to store the tabs you opened so that to free up your resources and remove clutter. But Onetab still lacks some features such as the simple list and just store selected tabs. Since One tab it's not open source and because they update very rarely I decided to make a \"Better\" Onetab extension.

★ Basic

If you used OneTab in the past, you can use Better Onetab like before. Expect store all tabs from a window, you can also just store the tabs you selected.

Better Onetab still provide the ability to store all tabs, store left or right tabs and any others. And you can also use it from the context menu.

Samely, you can also use \"pin list\" to keep a list will not be removed, set the title of a list or drag to change the order of tabs. Even you can set the color of a list in the new version.

★ Popup simple list

This is one of the key features I wanted One tab to have. This allows you to have the list of stored tabs at hand just with a click of the icon. You can also manage the lists of tabs as well quickly from the popup.

* You can change the \"Behavior when icon is clicked\" in the options page and enable or disable \"simple popup list\".

★ Keyboard shortcut

You can set a keyboard shortcut for \"store selected tabs\" or other action so that you can store tabs very easily. It is helpful for improving efficiency.

★ Add to history

You can choose to add the tabs to browser history if you like.

★ Migrate from Onetab

It is very simple. Better Onetab support to import the data exported from Onetab so that you can try Better Onetab easily.

★ Execute from other extensions

If you are using some others extensions, such as a mouse gesture extension, you can use the following code to execute \"store selected tabs\" command.

chrome.runtime.sendMessage('eookhngofldnbnidjlbkeecljkfpmfpg', 'store-selected-tabs')

Expect it, you can replace 'store-selected-tabs' with other string to call other commands:

- store-all-tabs
- restore-lastest-list
- open-lists

★ Some other quality of life improvements

Better Onetab will not open pages when you open the browser, but if you want, it is a simple thing.

Anna F. (ID: 000000e61c5efbcc) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/03/2023 I'm sorry, but I don't see how this is better than OneTab. Instead of a single page long list, my saved tab groups are displayed in pages. That slows me down significantly when I'm looking for a specific group. It also looks really cluttered because it doesn't show only the title like OneTab, but the title and the URL. That might sound useful, but it actually slows you down as well, because it increases the amount of information that you have to process.

Tête à-tête (ID: 000000839d199e0b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 gave it a brief go - i had to create an export file from onetab, to import. it opened the list, but did nothing with it. so.. i pinned the icon and clicked it, to save all tabs - nothing happened. so.. i wrote this, and removed this brave extension but, like ozzymandias, i shall return!

E LeCaire (ID: 0000009851fedf28) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/03/2023 This is exactly what it's called, a better version of one tab. The only thing I wish I could do is email the saved list.

Daniel Malara (Dan) (ID: 00000032456459db) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 My OneTab crashed and I can't even tell you how much work history I've lost. I'm not going to delete that one because I still hope I can recover data from the corrupted file somehow. Meanwhile, I have felt overwhelmed without a solution for storing work sessions. Very thankful to have found this piece of code. I want to reach the developer to see if he might want to keep working on it more. Would be cool to see a web3 data storage solution for account backups :D
