ChromeTabsPlus

ChromeTabsPlus is a browser extension that allows you to save and restore all open tabs, organized by the window they belong to. It is especially useful when you need to close a browsing session but plan to resume it later, or when you want to switch between different projects without losing your current tabs. The extension uses Chrome's Storage API to store your data, which means all information is saved directly within your Chrome Google account and is never transmitted to any third-party server. This approach enhances privacy but imposes a storage size limit per window, as determined by Chrome's API. If a window contains too many tabs or excessive data, the save operation may fail due to this limit.

Features

• Save all tabs in a window: With a single click, you can save every open tab in the current window. This is useful when you want to free up system resources or close Chrome without losing your browsing context. The saved set includes the URL and title of each tab.
• Restore saved tabs by window: You can later restore any previously saved window, and all its tabs will reopen in a new window. This is handy for resuming work after a reboot or for quickly accessing a group of tabs related to a specific task.
• Grouped by window: Saved tab sets are organized by the window they were saved from, making it easy to manage multiple browsing contexts. For example, you can have one window for work research and another for personal browsing, each saved separately.
• Visual indication of saved windows: The extension provides a clear visual cue (e.g., an icon or label) to show which windows have been saved, so you can avoid duplicate saves or easily identify saved sessions.
• Efficient storage format: The data storage format has been optimized to make better use of the available storage limit, allowing you to save more tabs per window without hitting the cap.
• Handling of tab changes: The extension automatically handles dynamic tab changes (e.g., when tabs are added, removed, or updated) to ensure that saved data remains consistent and up-to-date.
• Privacy-focused: Since all data stays within your Chrome account, there is no risk of third-party access. This is ideal for users who are concerned about data privacy and do not want their browsing history stored on external servers.

ChromeTabsPlus is inspired by TabCloud but offers its own implementation with improvements such as Manifest V3 compliance, permission management, and bug fixes. It is suitable for anyone who frequently works with multiple tabs and needs a reliable way to save and restore their browsing sessions without relying on external services.
