Imed Gh (ID: 00000078b760396b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/24/2022 The only extension that I've found that change the order of the tab while grouping the tab. Because when the group contains only one tab, it doesn't allow moving tabs to enter this said group, but with the keyboard shortcut provided by this extension, I can enter this group even if it contains only one tab. Thank you so much!!
