Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Workspace Launcher allows users to create presets of tabs for any occasion. If you have a set of websites that you tend to visit for a specific task, the extension allows you to save your tabs into a workspace which can be quickly reopened from a new Chrome window or tab. Workspaces are capable of storing whether a tab within your preset is pinned as well. You can easily save the tabs open in a current window by clicking the Workspace Launcher icon from the top right of your Chrome window. Workspaces can also be created from the Workspace Launcher interface itself.

Create a workspace for:

Typical sites you visit to start off the day
Resources for a specific work project
Sites you use for a school course
Social media sites
Blogs you follow
Any set of sites you want to revisit in the future!

Can you make it so we can customize the colors and stuff? Black is so bleek and doesn't match my workspace. Will update stars when you reply. Thank You!

The extension is minimalistic and this is fine, no complicated or extended functionalities which make it simple to use by the end. Once a set of tabs created, you could open it from a new window or by a new tab. Things to consider though : The new page open on the Workspace Dashboard, meaning that your initial welcome page won't be accessible anymore (is overwritten in a way). Last update is 2017, so what about security, coud there be flaws?
