Tabius - Tab Grouping Assistant

Only works when you create a new tab via a link on a web page.
Extension ignores existing tab groups, even ones that follow the same naming scheme, as well as all single tabs or old groups you got from restoring a session etc.
If you start a fresh browser session every time w/o any restored tabs then the limited functionality is kinda sufficient, but then again, ppl who want a tab (group) manager don't usually fall into that category.

The fact that Tabious does un-group single tabs again is a feature most other tab group managers lack, so yay for that. Same goes for the option to group parent and child tabs from different domains together. Very cool.
An additional 'Auto collapse' option would immediately make this extension twice as useful, tho.

Unfortunately the pop-menu is rather limited in its functionality.
Without the ability to re-name groups from within the menu - you can't even expand the groups in the menu to see what tabs they contain - it's practically useless actually.
You don't need a fancy pop-up to collapse a tab group manually. Locating the Tabious icon in the tool bar, clicking it, locating the group in the list, guessing which of the unlabeled icons does the desired task ... it takes five times as long to use those alibi functions than to simply double click the offending group label directly.

TL:DR
Add 'Auto Collapse', add actually useful functions to the menu, make the extension handle more than just newly created tabs ... then this could be The tab group manager to install.
As it stands now there are more feature complete alternatives in the store.

I'll deactivate Tabious but leave it installed for a while longer, maybe the next update's gonna flip my world on it's head.

Thank you for the useful extension!

I would prefer if there's a shortcut to collapses all other groups, but also moves the current active group to be the right most group

I'm looking for something like this for so long: when clicking a link to open in new tab, automatically group it with the source tab. This extension does this simple thing and does it well! Thank you for making this helpful extension.
