Idealne rozwiązanie. To powinno być wbudowane w Chrome.

Was okay until a recent Chrome update, and now it duplicates the underlying tab group every time you open a workspace.

It's ok. Workspaces in other browsers (like Edge) are more integrated, allowing (for example) multiple tab groups (or none) in a workspace. This plugin requires one, and only one, tab group, and results in some unexpected behavior if you try to open multiple tab groups (or forget to include a new tab in the existing tab group). Still, it's nice that it remembers the tabs you had open, which frees me up to close the window when I'm not using them.
