★ The project is no more maintained ★

Although I used it a lot, I feel less and less need for such an advanced way to manage my tabs. Aside from my full-time job, I have not much time left to put in this project.

Even, if this project ends, I thank all of you that used the extension or helped me to make this extension so great.

The project remains:

  • Available: you continue to use it
  • Open-source: you are free to fork it or reuse the code

Alternatives:

  • Firefox: Simple Tab Groups
    • Actively maintained and with more features
    • But no more pinned tabs inside groups and the double window to manage the tabs
  • Chrome: nothing I am aware of

With this one being sunset, Tab Group Manager looks to be the closest alternative.

When i remove this plugin, all my opened tab disappeared.

Sync Tab Groups is an excellent tab groupd manager for Chrome. !! Since today however when exporting (one or more or all) groups, the windows explorer (where you can select a folder in which to save the json file) disappears after about 5 to 6 seconds, consistently. !!
