Peter Hung (ID: 00000020797de438) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/13/2023 I've spent hours looking for this, others failed here and there, this one does the job (after I found that I can uncheck the "Show tabs from all windows" option).

ˑ (ID: 000000b9da6edc81) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/23/2022 Спасибо за расширение! Очень хорошее, но не отличное. 1. Уберите, пожалуйста, кнопку "close tabs". Она сильно мешает! Пользоваться ей никто не будет, а случайно нажать можно, когда пытаешься зайти в меню сортировки и удаления дубликатов. 2. И вообще, зачем эти важные пункты спрятаны в меню, не понятно. Лишний клик и вождение мышкой, пока выбираешь нужный подпункт. Проверка на внимательность и ловкость. =) А на самом деле потеря времени, сил и нервов. Лучше сделайте проще и удобней, как это сделано в расширении "Tab Manager v2". У вас в принципе похожий функционал, но там убогий интерфейс, а у вашего расширения очень приятный и дружелюбный. В любом случае еще раз благодарю за труд!
