Danielle Jackson (ID: 000000349a3836b0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 Works great for the most part, but no backups/syncing and some other minor issues weaken its use.

Raf (ID: 00000058e4f396bb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/03/2023 Is there option to group tabs from all chrome windows?

Evan Yao (ID: 00000006977aa068) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/02/2023 Is it possible to take a tab out of the group when the URL changes and no longer meets the condition? Thank you for the great extension!

Nils Lindemann (ID: 000000d7b83dd2cf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2023 It is the best of all I have tested. Very intuitive to use. On Linux(?), currently exporting as JSON works, but importing that JSON does not work. This is due to a bug in Chrome, which causes the add-on pop-up to close, when the file dialog gets opened: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1095361 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1027558 The workaround is currently to open this dialog in a tab, then one can import the JSON: chrome-extension://nplimhmoanghlebhdiboeellhgmgommi/popup.html Thanks a ton to the responsive developer, who figured this all out and also implemented other fixes for version 1.0.9, when I had contact with him via mail. 👍
