Marvin Weitzel (ID: 000000c45bd97989) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/10/2023 I organize myself using tab groups and needed something to migrate my open tab groups from my work notebook to a different computer. The experimental Chrome feature to save tab groups as bookmarks didn't work as intended when I tried to actually export them (I lost one tab group attempting this). Then I found this extension and was able to simply copy JSON to a file, open it on the next computer and re-open all the tab groups there. It does one job and it does it well. Absolutely recommendable.
