ActivityTab: Organize and Save Your Tabs Extension

Organize your tabs by renaming and coloring your tabs!
Save your tabs according to color and relaunch them with a click of a button!

ActivityTab allows you to effectively keep track of your tabs by allowing you to rename, color, and save your tabs. Accessible through the extension popup, commands, or context menu, ActivityTab allows you to quickly modify your tabs to your liking and save them so you can swiftly launch a set of tabs that you want to return to.

Features:
● Rename a tab
● Save colored tabs
● Save all tabs
● Close tabs of a specified color
● Creation of tab groups that keep track of your saved tabs

Once set, the name and color of a tab will persist when changing webpages and when the tab is refreshed. To save tabs of a certain color, select a tab with that color and then save it.

Once you install the extension, make sure to refresh your tabs so that the extension will work on them (they do not recognize the extension since they were opened before the extension was installed).

About Permissions: I need the permission “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit” so that the extension can rename and color webpages from any website. I don’t store anything about you as everything is stored on your computer.

Tips:
● Close tabs that you don’t need! If you save them, you can always access them later!
● Saving all of your tabs can be really useful when working on a project! By renaming and coloring your tabs, you can open all the tabs for your project and still be organized!
● Remember that there are many different ways to rename and color your tabs! You can use the popup, commands, and context menu!

Pictures of the extension features can be found above, and detailed explanations of the extension features can be found below.

● Changing the color of a webpage will change its bookmark icon as well; you can reset the bookmark icon by clicking the bookmark icon to launch a regular page or by just launching a regular page of the website
● Webpages may lose their color and name on rare occasions; the only way to fix this is to recolor and rename the tab

Chris Bidmead (ID: 0000000187c7d12d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/01/2022 This is a very nice idea and would be of great use. Sadly, though, it seems to fail (at least as tested in Vivaldi) because saving and/or reloading a tab restores the original favicon. So the very useful coloured circle gets washed away, whatever option Vivaldi's Settings/Tabs/Page Load Progress is set to, including None. If anyone can suggest a fix to this, I'll be back with Activity Tab in a flash. -- Chris

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/12/2022 Ok, I get this now. What's great is that you can save a color coding and/or your own name for the tab, and that you can save a collection of these tabs even after you shut your browser, and the color/name will reappear. edit: The extension could use a more distinctive name for it's unique abilities like Colorize Rename Tab Session Manager 6/12/22 I notice that the tab color doesn't last for the dynamic webpage that I use for chat. It will still save the tab though for reopening. Tab colors will last for other types of pages.

Rogerio M. Souza (ID: 000000ad064aee15) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/13/2022 Excellent! Working fine!

Tom Schi (ID: 0000001118261ba3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/06/2021 The usability is annoying: for sure, you have to try to save tabs because it for sure does not work as you expect. Hint: Try to use the key. DANGEROUS! because of the very annyoing usability, it can easily happen that this extension opens some hundred tabs. Be prepared to get a cofee untils Chrome is ready to get the command to uninstall this extension :-( it's really sad.

Brock Barnett (ID: 000000fe668a0f5c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/06/2021 Works as expected. If you are installing it for the first time, make sure you refresh an already open tab before you try to change the color of the tab. Note: this replaces the favicon with a color. Additionally if you want to change how the shortcuts work for this extension then go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts The one thing that would make this a 5 star extension for me is if you could control which colors you have and add even more colors.
