TabsFolder

Group your tabs into groups.
What is TabsFolder?
TabsFolder is a Chrome extension designed to enhance browser organization. Ideal for those who often keep various tabs open concurrently, this tool allows creation of tab groups, with the ability to add tabs via drag-and-drop feature. It adds convenience by letting users choose and switch between different tab groups at any time. Notably, closing a group will simultaneously close all tabs within it. Also, this extension keeps your pinned tabs open. Its code is freely available via GitHub for those interested in further development.

Extension summary

Add a kind of panorama like feature to chrome (but less pretty).

This extention is design to people like me who always have a lot of tabs open at the same time. It allows the creation of groups (folders) to organise the repartition of your tabs.

With this extention, create groups and add tabs to them just with drag and drop. Then choose the group of tab you want work with. You will not be disturb by the other tabs. You can switch to an other tab group anytime you want. Just close the group to close all the tabs inside it when you have finished to work with.

Now the extention keeps your pinned tabs open.

A git repository has been created. Fell free to fork or re-use it. Some part of the code are in french though (sorry). https://github.com/Conchylicultor/TabsFolder

Had lots of tabs open which I wanted to group and organise... Created and named a new group in the extension, dragged and dropped a few tabs into this, one by one (it doesn't select multiple tabs). Then clicked on "work with this group" (there isn't much else to click on)... The extension closed all of my other tabs in one swoop, and bypassing the Chrome history at the same time, so no way to restore them! I feel rather stupid that this happened... yet I am posting about it, so you will not make the same mistake. AVOID THIS EXTENSION (sorry for having to say so)

WOULD NOT RECONMEND BETTER YET STAY AWAY FROM THIS TYPE OF EXTENSION, it opened my tabs in seperate windows which kinda looked like malware but i had this type of thing happen to another extension i used which i would also advice to stay away from (workona), not only this extention did that it also removed my tabs and would not let me restore tabs. it also doesnt really organise the tabs.
