Description

Tabius is a customizable and easy to use Tab Grouping assistant for Chrome. It is also open source! If you use tab grouping or couldn't use it due to lack of options, Tabius is a must have extension for you. The extension is packed with useful features like: ✔️ Automatically create new tab groups when you open a link in a new tab. ✔️ Auto Collapse inactive tab groups. ✔️ Limit the browser to only create groups if the new tab matches the original tab's domain. ✔️ Create custom tab grouping rules: always create tab groups with a specific name and color from your favorite websites! ✔️ Save your favorite tab groups and restore them for later use! ✔️ Don't want to create tab groups from a specific site? Create a blacklist from the settings or add the site to the blacklist right from the toolbar! ✔️ Option to close an existing tab group when there is only 1 tab left in it. ✔️ Limit maximum number of tabs allowed in a group. ✔️ Automatically name tab groups based on domain/subdomain or the full URL. ✔️ View current tab groups and act upon them by clicking on the extension icon right from the toolbar. ✔️ Sync all your settings, tab groups, and custom lists with browser. ✔️ ..and many more features. I created this extension from my need. I use tab groups all the time and the extension helps enhance this feature. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to email me: dev@faisalbin.com. This extension is made with ❤️ in Munich. What's new in v2.0.5 - Fixed width of popup when no tab groups are present - Other fixes. What's new in v2.0.1 - You can now use the opener tab's title as the group name. To do so, select "Group Opener's title" from Settings>Group Naming Convention What's new in version 2.0 - Tabius has gone through a major redesign. - The extension has been rebuilt from the ground up. - You can now save your favorite tab groups for later. - Amend saved tab groups. - The popup is now more useful. - "nameless" group naming option. - Fixes scrolling issue if custom rules get too long. - Lots of bug fixes.

Maybe it did something once, it doesn't now. If it really does still work, then the instructions need to be clearer. I've been using a .js script in Vivaldi to auto-group tabs that has worked in forever, but this extension doesn't attempt to group anything.

Thx but we can't backup our tabs. There is not an option to do that !! What we will do if we delete our browser and reinstall it?! All tabs would be gone !!!!!

Only works when you create a new tab via a link on a web page. Extension ignores existing tab groups, even ones that follow the same naming scheme, as well as all single tabs or old groups you got from restoring a session etc. If you start a fresh browser session every time w/o any restored tabs then the limited functionality is kinda sufficient, but then again, ppl who want a tab (group) manager don't usually fall into that category. The fact that Tabious does un-group single tabs again is a feature most other tab group managers lack, so yay for that. Same goes for the option to group parent and child tabs from different domains together. Very cool. An additional 'Auto collapse' option would immediately make this extension twice as useful, tho. Unfortunately the pop-menu is rather limited in its functionality. Without the ability to re-name groups from within the menu - you can't even expand the groups in the menu to see what tabs they contain - it's practically useless actually. You don't need a fancy pop-up to collapse a tab group manually. Locating the Tabious icon in the tool bar, clicking it, locating the group in the list, guessing which of the unlabeled icons does the desired task ... it takes five times as long to use those alibi functions than to simply double click the offending group label directly. TL:DR Add 'Auto Collapse', add actually useful functions to the menu, make the extension handle more than just newly created tabs ... then this could be The tab group manager to install. As it stands now there are more feature complete alternatives in the store. I'll deactivate Tabious but leave it installed for a while longer, maybe the next update's gonna flip my world on it's head.
