v1.5.0: Fuzzy Search & Restore Dropdown Latest

Latest

What's New

Fuzzy Search

Search bar at the top of the popup — fuzzy search across all backed-up bookmarks and open tabs using uFuzzy. Results grouped by tab group with sync status chips:

synced (green) — open in tab + backed up in bookmarks
tab — open but not yet backed up
saved — backed up but not currently open
file (blue) — a file:// URL

Click a result to switch to the tab (if open) or open it from bookmarks (with path mapping for file:// URLs).

Per-Group Restore Dropdown

Each group now has a restore dropdown menu with four modes:

Restore all tabs — open all bookmarks as tabs
Add missing tabs — only open tabs not already in the group
Add file:// tabs only — open local file bookmarks with path mapping
Replace group — close existing tabs, restore fresh from bookmarks

Documentation

Tutorial expanded to 18 parts with new sections on file:// URL sync, cross-machine path mapping, and fuzzy search
Part 02 (dual build) rewritten with clear step-by-step explanation
All new sections use annotated walkthrough style with numbered code annotations

v1.4.0

v1.4.0: File URL Sync with Cross-Machine Path Mapping

What's New

The only Chrome/Edge extension that syncs local file URLs across machines.

Chrome, Edge, and Brave all silently drop file:// URLs from saved tab groups (Chromium bug #372978298). If you read local documentation, Dropbox-synced books, Zotero PDFs, or offline references in tab groups — they vanish on restart. Tab Group Sync v1.4.0 fixes this.

New Features

file:// URL sync — Local file tabs are now captured in tab group backups (previously silently dropped by all Chromium browsers)
Cross-machine path mapping — Bidirectional prefix rewriting so file:// bookmarks open correctly across macOS, Linux, and Windows (e.g., /Users/foo/Dropbox ↔ /home/foo/Dropbox)
Per-group file restore — File icon button on each group to open file:// tabs from bookmarks
Bulk file restore — "Open all file:// tabs" button in Settings to recover all file:// URLs at once
Opener page — Fallback page when file:// access is not enabled, with setup instructions
Edge Workspace warning — Alerts about the dangerous "workspace unsupported" tab behavior
File URL access detection — Banner when "Allow access to file URLs" needs to be enabled

Setup for file:// sync

Install/update the extension
Enable "Allow access to file URLs" in chrome://extensions for this extension
Open Settings → Path Mappings → set your Machine ID and mapping rules
Tab groups with file:// tabs will sync automatically

Install

Download tab-group-sync-v1.4.0.zip, unzip, then load in Chrome/Edge via chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked → select the dist/ folder.
