Classic Microsoft Edge "Tabs Aside" feature View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Full summary

Classic Microsoft Edge "Tabs Aside" feature for Chromium-based browsers If you’re like me, you often find yourself with a bunch of open tabs. You’d like to get those tabs out of the way sometimes, but they’re maybe not worth saving as actual bookmarks.

In the Edge browser, Microsoft has introduced a new feature called "Tabs aside" (or Tab groups) which lets you set tabs aside in a sort of temporary workspace so that you can call them back up later.

Unfortunately, in new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, the devs decided not to implement this must-have-feature. So, I've decided to create a browser extension which replicates this awesome feature in Chromium-based browsers

Features

  • Familiar UI inherited from legacy Microsoft Edge with some improvements
  • Auto Dark mode*
  • Now you can restore one tab from collection without removing
  • Convenient hotkeys
  • Ability to load restored tabs on your demand

Hey, It's open-source software!

View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files -- without needing Office installed on your computer.

Once the extension is installed, Office files that you drag into Chrome, open in Gmail, Google Drive, and more, will be opened in Docs, Sheets, and Slides for viewing and editing.

You can save each file back to its original Office format, or convert it to Docs, Sheets, or Slides to unlock more features, like inviting others to edit with you, commenting, chat, and more.

Please note that Office files cannot be edited in the classic version of Drive. The new Google Drive is gradually rolling out to all users via the Settings menu. If you don't see the option to try the new look, check back again shortly. Learn more here: https://support.google.com/drive/?p=new_drive.
