## Description

Tiled Tab Groups is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your tab management by automatically grouping your tabs into compact, tiled lists using the tab hide API. It supports advanced grouping with wildcard or regex rules, allowing you to organize tabs effortlessly. Users can select multiple tabs via box selection to move or close them simultaneously, boosting productivity.

Customization is at your fingertips with CSS support, enabling you to tailor the UI to your preferences. Additionally, the extension offers a stashing feature to hide groups until needed, and it includes improved compatibility with Tree Style Tab for seamless integration.

## Review summary

TTG is praised for speed, simplicity, and a lightweight, clean UI for organizing many tabs. However, reliability issues—tabs and groups disappearing after restarts or updates—and missing features like cross-window grouping and export/import options are common complaints. Overall, it’s a fast, easy-to-use tab grouping tool, but its data persistence and feature gaps can undermine confidence.

### Pros

- Very fast and efficient; lightweight compared with other tab group add-ons.
- Simple, intuitive to use; easy to move/select tabs into groups.
- Lightweight design with minimal permissions and little feature bloat.
- UI is nice and Trello-like, making organization pleasant.

### Cons

- Reliability concerns: tabs and groups can disappear after restarts or updates, risking data loss.
- Some versions/updates can render the extension non-functional (e.g., specific bugged builds).
- Lacks cross-window grouping; users want to share the same groups across multiple windows.
