en I struggled with the instructions so tried an alternative approach, it worked (but with a large number of links it was slow). What I did was install the extension to both PCs. Cut the JSON from the dialog box on the source PC Paste it into a simple text editor like Notepad, save as json.txt, email that to the new PC On new PC open json.txt, copy the JSON content to the JSON dialog box on the destination PC click "load Session from JSON" and wait! Other reviews say when importing a very large number of tabs it fails so an UNTRIED fix for that MIGHT be as follows. In brief, split the JSON into smaller chunks. In detail: The file appears to start { and end } within that each group starts like "nogroup":[ and ends ], So I think if you took the file into a text editor and split it where a new group starts like ],"finance":[ then replace everything after the comma with } paste what's left into the JSON dialog box (replacing what was there) and click "load Session from JSON" it might load all tabs before in this example Finance. You MAY then be able to do the same again isolating other chunks of JSON code and load that too. The source code is available and at just 144 lines of javascript it might not be too difficult to improve it but I've got better things to do. I was surprised that syncing the two browsers didn't do this all automatically but I expect a future Chrome update will render this extension unnecessary.

en this tool was amazing, simple, worked great, HIGHLY recommend. Two complaints I have that make this a smidge away from perfect: 1. I wish it could save the color of the tab groups, chrome can with ctrl+shift+t somehow so it should be possible 2. I wish that tabs that exist outside of any group don't get all clumped together in a new group, they should remain groupless

en Where is the json file saved? Would be great to be able to locate it and import it to a different browser/computer. PS. When I click on "save current session," no entry shows up in the "Stored session window." This is Google Chrome on Linux latest version... I tried copy the text from the script window and paste it into the same window on Brave browser, all the tabs showed up, but are ungrouped, which is a disaster when you have 100s of tabs

en With 2100+ tabs, "Save Current Session" did not create a file. After manually copying & pasting the JSON into a new Chrome profile with this extension, and clicking "Load Session From JSON", Chrome tried to open all 2000+ tabs and slowly ground to a halt as I exhausted all 32GB of memory. I ended up closing Chrome after a few minutes before it could finish. The "Save Current Session" button did work in the new profile with just a couple tabs though.

I organize myself using tab groups and needed something to migrate my open tab groups from my work notebook to a different computer. The experimental Chrome feature to save tab groups as bookmarks didn't work as intended when I tried to actually export them (I lost one tab group attempting this). Then I found this extension and was able to simply copy JSON to a file, open it on the next computer and re-open all the tab groups there. It does one job and it does it well. Absolutely recommendable.
