Auto Collapse for Tab Groups

Collapse your unfocused groups.

What is Auto Collapse for Tab Groups?

"Auto Collapse for Tab Groups" is a Chrome extension designed to make browsing more efficient. It collapses all unfocused Tab Groups, a feature introduced in Chrome 89, so that only the tabs in your active group are displayed, making your tab bar less distracting. This tool automatically collapses all other groups when you click on an ungrouped tab or a tab within one group. It also provides bug fix updates to ensure a smooth browsing experience.

Just what i needed, thanks for creating this extension

I love the idea of this for focusing tabs while context switching, but since saved groups came out I use them heavily, and this extension unfortunately doesn't support collapsing a saved group, and I'm not willing to trade off benefits of saved groups to get auto collapsing. If updated to support working on save groups would be a 5 star for me, I like a simple just collapse groups you're not actively using function.
