Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Tab Group Manager extension automatically stores the tab groups you create as a bookmark group so you can sync and restore them anytime and anywhere you want.

Tab groups are stored under a bookmark folder Other Bookmarks > Tab Group Manager. Everytime you open a new tab, close an opened tab or navigate a tab to a new page in the tab group, the stored bookmark gets updated, so they are always in sync.

To change the group name, change the tab group name on Chrome.
To change the group color, change the tab group color on Chrome.
Closing an opened tab in a tab group on Chrome gets automatically synced, but you can also click on a close icon beside the tab in the Tab Group Manager to have the same effect.
Closing an opened tab group on Chrome leaves the group left in the Tab Group Manager, but you can also click on a close icon beside the tab group in the Tab Group Manager to have the same effect.
Remove a stored tab group from Tab Group Manager just by clicking on the trash bin icon beside the tab group.
Quickly search through the stored tab groups and tabs in the Tab Groups Manager using the search bar at the top.
When a tab group stored in Tab Group Manager is out of sync with Chrome's, click on the reload icon at the top right corner of the Tab Group Manager to force resync.

Tips:

To open a tab group in a new window, click the tab group with "Shift" key in the Tab Group Manager.
To open a tab group without focusing on the opened tab, click the tab group with "Option" key on Mac or "Windows" key on Windows in the Tab Group Manager.

I've seen a few of the bugs that others have mentioned in the past, but not recently so perhaps they've been resolved. I like the new button in Bookmarks bar and the ability to pin groups there. I organize tab groups by color; that is a great visual aid for me. What I find is missing for me is a way to sort groups in the list provided under the Bookmarks bar button. What's come to mind for me is the ability to sort alphabetically by name or chronologically by date created or by date modified. I believe all of that is available in chrome's storage of bookmarks. It could also be interesting to sort by color. Happy to describe this further if you have interest in pursuing this, Eiji.

The idea is terrific, but periodically, for reasons I can't explain, it creates duplicate groups of bookmarks, sometimes identical, sometimes not; sometimes with the same folder names, sometimes with numbers as names.
