Thank you very much for your efforts! There's a doubt I want to ask, how do you use tabGroups? There are no related options in the popup

Love this thing, thank you for making it!! Only thing: when I have some tabs auto-suspended due to the Great Suspender (the new, clean version lol)... Jira does seem to parse out the URL from The Great Suspended string and appears like it's going to paste an embedded URL/hyperlinked text... but it fails to remain a clickable, hyperlinked URL after save. Example if you can help! [Google](chrome-extension://bhjpanlkhkaenfmobbmmpffcjalfmpip/suspended.html#ttl=Google&pos=0&uri=https://www.google.com/) Otherwise, I'll just have to "mass-unsuspend" tabs (which takes up some memory and can slow productivity down for a bit) just to copy the Headers/URL of all tabs, paste them in a comment to store them for later, and then close the tabs. Thank you for the great work regardless 🙏
