こんなツールが欲しかったです。とても便利なので使い続けたいです。 他の方も書いていますが、以下の事象が改善されたら嬉しいです。 Chromeを最初に起動したときに、 1.同じグループのタブが2個に分かれてしまいます。別れてしまった方のWebページを開くと1個に統一されていきます。 2.閉じたタブグループがすべて開いた状態で起動されてしまいます。

これこそが皆が求めているタブ機能。もっと広まってほしい。 さらに良くなる改善点の提案と対策。 ・tabのソート("close duplicate tab" extention と併用すると良い) ・tab順序の固定化 ・メモリーセーバーで非アクティブなtabの挙動がおかしくなる This is the tab feature everyone is looking for. I want it to spread further. Suggestions and countermeasures for improvements to make things even better. ・Tab sorting (good to use with "close duplicate tab" extention) ・Determine the order of tabs ・Inactive tab behavior becomes strange with memory saver

基本的には素晴らしいんだけど使いづらい。 ・すべてのタブを閉じたときに新しいタブが開いてしまう。 ・タブのソート機能があるのはいいがソートが常に固定される。並び替えてもタブを開いたりすると元に戻る。またこの拡張機能で管理されてないURLは自動的に最後になる。 (2024/10/12) ・PCを再起動しChromeが開くと、以前は正しく表示されていたタブの並びがめちゃくちゃ(一つにまとめられるはずのタブが二つになったり)になる。 ・上の事象が再起動以外のタイミングでも発生することがある。発生する条件はよくわかってない。 (2024/09/07) まさかデベロッパーに返信をいただけるとは思ってなかった。 最初のレビュー翻訳しておきます。Google翻訳で申し訳ない。 I never thought I'd get a reply from the developer. I'll translate my first review. Sorry for using Google Translate. --- First Review --- It's basically great, but hard to use. - When you close all tabs, a new tab opens. - It's nice that it has a tab sorting function, but the sorting is always fixed. Even if you rearrange the order, it reverts to the original when you open a tab. Also, any URLs not managed by this extension will automatically be moved to the end. -------------------- 以下デベロッパーさんへの返信です。 Below is the response to the developer: I know this extension(Acid Tabs) has sorting functionality. Since the sort order is fixed, it is not easy to temporarily move a tab to the left, for example. >> As for the url's that are not managed going to the end, is there another place that you would prefer them (such as to the left or between)? I want to move unmanaged URLs to the left, center of the tab, or anywhere I like. If possible, it would be helpful if you could implement a mode that does not sort the tabs. Thanks to you, I now have just one Google Chrome window.
