Tab Group Switch

Save tab groups and switch between them.

Tab Group Switch is a Chrome extension designed to help you save and switch between tab groups easily. It offers a practical middle ground between bookmarks and the classic Panorama tab groups by saving open tabs into named groups that can be switched or edited as needed. The extension supports adding new tabs to groups, updating groups with current tabs, and exporting/importing group data locally.

Users can enable an autosave feature to automatically save all open tabs at set intervals, effectively functioning as a simple session manager. It allows various actions such as switching between groups, opening tabs from groups, editing group details including focused and pinned tabs, and managing group names. Although it reloads tabs entirely upon switch (resulting in loss of some form data), it provides a resource-friendly way to handle multiple tab groups within a single window context. The extension manages permissions carefully to support autosaving, storage, notifications, and tab handling.

Options are not my strong point language, and when I thought something had been changed in the window, the tab where the change was made turned up with a message like ``Cannot connect because it is insecure'', so I had to open it. I can no longer view the tabs properly. Add-ons that put the cart before the horse

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tab Group Switch requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
