Expanding / Collapsing of tab groups does not seem to respond to mouse-clicks in the side panel; only from the top tab-bar, which defeats the purpose...

字体小了些,好像不能修改。window的排序能不能支持拖拽

This is my favorite of all the chrome "tabs in the side panel" extensions. Especially when I learned that one can go into "manage extensions" and assign a keyboard shortcut to open/close this side extension. One opportunity for improvement, I think, would be to do more for hierarchical organization. For example, having an expand/collapse button next to parent tabs that show/hide their children. Also, supporting more than 1 level of hierarchy. Firefox's "Tree Style Tab" would be the gold standard for this. But I think this extension is really close! Thank you for making this!
