TabGroup Master v1.0.0

First stable release of TabGroup Master 🚀

Turn Chrome's flat tab-group strip into a full-screen, nested workspace — fully local, no account, no tracking.

🔥 Highlights

• 🗂️ Nested folder workspace with drag & drop
• 🪟 Free Mode — groups open in their own window, nothing touches your bookmarks bar
• 💤 Frozen tabs — reopen 100-tab groups with almost no RAM
• ⬇️ One-click import of your saved/closed Chrome groups (native host or pure-JS, no install)
• 🧹 Cleanup tools (find unnamed, merge duplicates) with Undo
• 🔎 Accent-aware search across titles and tab URLs
• 🛟 Triple backup: off-profile file + cloud sync + JSON export

🔒 Security & reliability in this build

• All user text HTML-escaped; only http(s)/ftp/mailto links are clickable (blocks javascript: injection)
• Large backups chunked under Chrome's 1 MB limit so restore never silently fails
• Single-Undo bulk delete, deduped render listeners

📥 Install

1. Download TabGroup-Master-v1.0.0.zip below and unzip.
2. chrome://extensions/ → enable Developer mode → Load unpacked → select the folder.
3. (Optional) Run NativeHost/install.bat (Win) / install.command (mac) / install.sh (Linux) for one-click import.

Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi & Chromium.

✨ Key Features

• Global Search & Turkish/English Input Smoothing: Instant filtering across Active, Saved, and Conflict tabs without worrying about character case or Turkish/English keyboard layouts (ç, ş, ı, İ, etc.).
• Spacious Hierarchical Workspace: Manage your groups inside nested folders with smooth, animated drag-and-drop powered by SortableJS.
• Title Collision Protection (Import Mode): Real-time monitoring for identical group names to prevent visual chaos and database corruption.
• Session Recovery & Auto-Sync: Seamless communication between the side panel and the full-screen dashboard. Even if Chrome resets your live group IDs on restart, the system recovers your workspace intact based on title-session binding.
• Privacy First: Native scripts run completely locally. Absolute paths are masked to hide local system usernames automatically.
