Pure Side Tabs

🪩 Features

• Show tabs and tab groups in a sidebar
• No data harvesting, ever (source is available for verification)
• Pop-up menu with most-recently visited tabs
• Allows easily switching between most-recently used tabs with the keyboard
• Recent tab view allows for a Ctrl-Tab-like experience.
• Press / in the popup to search all open and recently closed tabs
• Drag-and-drop tabs and tab groups for arrangement

⌨️ Usage

1. Install from the Chrome Web Store
2. Ctrl-B (Command-B on Mac) to show sidebar
3. Ctrl-E (Command-E on Mac) to show popup menu, arrow keys or j/k to navigate, enter to switch, esc to dismiss
4. Configure shortcuts to change keyboard mappings (Window > Extensions > Keyboard shortcuts)
5. Configure settings in extension options

📣 Tips

• You can pin the extension (from the sidebar's title, the Extensions toolbar, or from the extension's details) to make the recent tab popup show faster.
• You can use the popup menu to easily switch back and forth between two tabs (Ctrl-Tab replacement): show the popup menu (Ctrl/Command-E by default), then press Enter. This will switch back and forth between the two most recently-viewed tabs.
• Holding Ctrl/Command while collapsing or expanding tab groups will apply the command to all tab groups in the window.
• Enable "Always keep tab groups at top" in settings to pin tab groups directly after pinned tabs, with automatic enforcement on new tabs and drag-and-drop.
