Description

Auto Collapse makes the tab bar less distracting by collapsing all unfocused Tab Groups (the feature introduced in Chrome 89). When you click on an ungrouped tab or a tab within one group, all other tab groups get collapsed. Changelog: *v1.1: Fixed timing bug during tab group focus.

Doesn't work on saved groups, which are the entire reason I was looking for a solution. For my use case, this is one star, and I've not seen it work as saved groups are all I use.

Want to use it, but it just isn't working for me on Chrome 95 at all. I've tried disabling/re-enabling, creating new groups, etc. Nothing. Maybe just maybe I'm different because I'm using a pair of chrome profiles? Extensions are enabled separately on each. I've got it on both profiles, but neither of them work.

First of all, I love this extension. However, as of late, it's stopped working whenever I first open up chrome. After I manually collapse all my group tabs, it starts working again. But once I close chrome it stops working till I've re-launched chrome and manually collapsed all group tabs. This extension use to work perfectly. But after I had to reinstall my OS, it stopped working. Please, please, PLEASE fix this! I beg you!

This extension, which I love, also collapses groups on other windows when selecting a tab within a group of another windows. Would be nice to automatically select the last active tab in a group when selecting a group.

I love the idea of this for focusing tabs while context switching, but since saved groups came out I use them heavily, and this extension unfortunately doesn't support collapsing a saved group, and I'm not willing to trade off benefits of saved groups to get auto collapsing. If updated to support working on save groups would be a 5 star for me, I like a simple just collapse groups you're not actively using function.

Doesn't work with saved groups and would be nice to have keyboard shortcuts

Please add keyboard shortcuts to activate extension or toggle feature on-off
