Summary
Classic Microsoft Edge "Tabs Aside" feature for Chromium-based browsers If you’re like me, you often find yourself with a bunch of open tabs. You’d like to get those tabs out of the way sometimes, but they’re maybe not worth saving as actual bookmarks.
In the Edge browser, Microsoft has introduced a new feature called "Tabs aside" (or Tab groups) which lets you set tabs aside in a sort of temporary workspace so that you can call them back up later.
Unfortunately, in new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, the devs decided not to implement this must-have-feature. So, I've decided to create a browser extension which replicates this awesome feature in Chromium-based browsers
Features
- Familiar UI inherited from legacy Microsoft Edge with some improvements
- Auto Dark mode
- Now you can restore one tab from collection without removing
- Convenient hotkeys
- Ability to load restored tabs on your demand
Hey, It's open-source software!
