Tabs Aside - Classic Microsoft Edge Feature for Chromium Browsers

"Tabs aside" is an Edge add-on that re-creates the classic Microsoft Edge feature in Chromium-based browsers. It allows you to neatly group and set aside open browser tabs for later access, freeing up your workspace. It features a user-friendly interface, auto dark mode, restoration of single tabs from collections, convenient hotkeys and an optional tab load on demand.

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!

这个小工具很好用,解决了新版Edge缺失的这个功能。Edge最近更新后这个工具打不开本地文件了,要设置一下,在“管理扩展”里面点详细信息-允许访问本地文件URL。给本地PDF整理分组对写论文的人太重要了。

I really like it. Only one thing is missing I think: to restore tab groups.
