Auto Tab Groups Extension

This extension allows you to set custom rules that then auto sort your tabs. IT does this using Google Tab Groups. It lets you set up as many rules as you want.

To add a new rule click add group button and fill out the TITLE, Domain / URL and
COLOR fields. When you open the open extension the TITLE column will be the tab group name. The DOMAIN/ URL column will be the value searched in the website URL field that extension uses to sort the active tab. The COLOR column will be a box that when drop down is clicked allows the user to pick a color for the tab group. These preferences will be saved to users google profile when either the save button is clicked or delete button is confirmed and work across multiple devices with extension under same profile.

In order to change or delete a rule you must first check the checkbox for the row and click edit or delete. If deleting values confirm the delete in delete window. If editing values makes sure all fields in rows are checked are not blank, and that color box is not set to grey. Otherwise a warning message will display letting you know to set these fields.

The extension works as follows, say you have the value Test1 in Name Column, test1 in URL column, and the box set to Blue. Any website URL you visit with test1 ex.(www.test1thisisatest.com) will be automatically sorted into a group named Test1.

You can also specify multiple terms to search with by separating them with commas. For instance, if you assign a group with TITLE column of Colors, and DOMAIN/ URL of blue, yellow, and green; any url you load with those search terms will go in the Tab Group Named Color. The final column COLOR, is the color of this tab group that gets set.

By default the following keyboard shortcuts are enabled. You can use Ctrl+Shift+Y, Ctrl+Shift+H, and Ctrl+Shift+U to close, open and toggle tab groups respectively. You can also change this by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts as well.

There is a settings / options page you can get to by clicking the gear in the top right corner. Here you can enable a zoomed in view for larger font size and window for the popup window, change grouping from other windows behavior, and save and load your files from a local file on your computer.

Brian Rigwald (ID: 000000d40cae5b82) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 Very useful. The only thing I would like to see is it not combine tabs from separate windows. Sometimes I need an item in a separate window and be able to have them side-by-side, but if I make a selection that causes one to refresh, it moves the tab to the group in the other window.

Roy h (ID: 0000001a03bae5c7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/16/2023 litarly blows my mind this extension only has 450 users installed on all my profiles in 10 minutes If you want this to really blow up i would suggest the follow features 1. if possible (not sure there's an api for it) integration into the tab menu and add support adding the domain\subset of the url to an existing group 2. integrate into "Tab Manager Plus for Chrome" extension and show groups in that view. thank you for making my life easier dude !
