What's changed

This release fixes the core behaviour of the extension: previously it called goBack() on every tab in a tab group, including tabs the user was actively looking at and tabs that were already correctly loaded. Now only tabs that are genuinely stuck get processed.

Fixed

  • Active tab is no longer sent back. The tab you are viewing when you click the extension icon is always skipped, even if it belongs to a tab group. The fix uses the tab argument injected directly by chrome.action.onClicked — more reliable in MV3 service workers than a secondary chrome.tabs.query call. Closes #1.

  • Already-loaded tabs are no longer sent back. The extension now only touches grouped tabs that are actually stuck: either natively discarded by Chrome (tab.discarded === true) or rendered as a blank chrome://newtab/ or about:blank page — the typical symptom of the Chrome session-restore bug this extension was built to fix. A tab that is already showing the correct page is left completely untouched.

Installation / upgrade

  1. Download back-grouped-tabs-v1.1.zip below and extract it.
  2. Open chrome://extensions, find the already-loaded extension and click "Load unpacked" again pointing at the new folder (or remove the old one first and reload).
