AutoTabGroup Extension

AutoTabGroup allows you to define a complex set of rules to automatically group your tabs as you are browsing.

Tab groups are a great, but they can be a pain to manage and manually having to create new tabs in a group or dragging tabs into groups. AutoTabGroup's aim to streamline this process, and handle this tedious task for you, so you only have to set up your tab configuration one time, and then every time you visit a website you've configured in a rule, your tab will automatically get added to the proper tab group.

Configuration Notes:
A minimal functional configuration includes at least one tab group, with one or more rules.

When configuring rules, you can enable \"Wildcard\" matching, which will match any direct sub-domains as well as the domain entered. For example, entering \"youtube.com\" in the Domain field with wildcard enabled, would match youtube.com, www.youtube.com, music.youtube.com, etc.

Wildcard matching will only match immediate sub-domains. From the example above, this rule would not match www.music.youtube.com, only music.youtube.com.
