Tab Collections Extension

!! This extension doesn't work on 'Chrome Web Store' and 'chrome://*/*' pages !!
!! Disable and re-enable extension require refreshing pages to let the extension take effect, also if the extension doesn't work on normal pages after installation, refresh the page or relauch the browser !!

Browser extension that saves tabs in group temporarily.

Have you ever opened too much tabs in your browser? When we are working, we will usually open many tabs that're about a single subject. Unfortunately, sometimes we can't finish the work at once and need to keep those tabs open. As the tabs accumulate, it becomes a mess. And this extention aims to solve this problem.

The new Edge browser has already have a built-in functionality called Collections, which I think is very practical. So this extension is pretty much referencing the Edge Collections.

If you have any problems, you can contact me through email.
And this extension is Open-source. (https://github.com/drafting-dreams/Tab-Collections)

Dave Patrick (ID: 000000cd2562f8ad) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/06/2021 I used this extension for a few months. It worked well enough. However, one day I opened my browser and all my collections were gone. I lost everything that I had saved. Look for something else if you that worries you.

Matthew Mulhearn (ID: 0000009ab04e6046) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/04/2021 I may be dense, but I don't see how to use this. There's nothing in the hamburder menu nor when you click the ext icon.
