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.

Works Flawlessly! Btw, i found this extension looking for another. I like this extension but i was thinking also its a great idea if you can open a tab from a group and at the same time hide the others not used from the group you are in. If you know what i mean. Could you add that option? Or if not instead make another extension with this funtionality?
