ArkGroups: Automatic Intelligent Tab Groups

ArkGroups: Automatic Intelligent Tab Groups ArkGroups is a powerful and free browser extension designed to intelligently organize your browsing experience by automatically grouping tabs based on customizable rules. It simplifies tab management by categorizing websites into color-coded groups, keeping your workspace clean, organized, and efficient. Key Features 1. Intelligent Automatic Grouping - Real-time Organization: Automatically groups tabs as they are created or when their URLs are updated. - Multi-Criteria Matching: Evaluates the Domain, the Full URL, and the Page Title to ensure precise grouping. - Smart Merging: Automatically detects and joins existing groups with matching titles in the current window to prevent clutter. - Global Toggle: Easily enable or disable the automatic grouping logic with a single switch. 2. Comprehensive Rule System The extension operates on a sophisticated priority-based rule system: - Flexible Match Patterns: Supports three types of matching: - Simple String: Substring matching (e.g., `google.com`). - Wildcards: Pattern matching with `*` (e.g., `*.github.com`). - Regular Expressions: Advanced matching for power users (e.g., `/^https:\/\/.*\.gov/`). - Priority System: Numeric priority levels resolve conflicts when a tab matches multiple rules. - Custom Visuals: Assign any of Chrome's 9 standard colors to your groups for quick visual identification. - Active Toggle: Quickly enable or disable individual rules without deleting them. 3. Advanced Tab Behaviors - Accordion Mode(Auto-Collapse Inactive): Keeps the tab strip clean by automatically collapsing all groups except the one containing your active tab. - Auto-Sort Groups: Automatically arranges tabs within a group based on Title, URL, or Domain. 4. Rich Default Configuration Out of the box, ArkGroups includes dozens of pre-configured rules across diverse categories 5. Management Dashboard (Popup) - Easy Interface: A main dashboard for quick toggles and a dedicated "Groups" view for detailed rule management. - Full CRUD Support: Easily Add, Edit, and Delete custom rules. - Quick Actions: * Re-group: Force-apply grouping logic to all open tabs. * Ungroup All: Instantly dissolve all tab groups in the window. * Collapse All: Minimize all groups manually. - Search & Filter: Find specific rules quickly with a sticky search bar and filter for active rules. 6. Workflow & Portability - Cloud Sync: Leverages `chrome.storage.sync` to keep your rules and settings synchronized across all devices signed into the same Google account. - Import/Export: Backup your configuration or share it with others via JSON files. - Restore Defaults: selectively re-import default categories if they were deleted. Technical Details - Permissions: Utilizes `tabs`, `tabGroups`, and `storage` permissions. - Privacy: All processing happens locally; no browsing data is ever sent to external servers. - Performance: Optimized with caching and pre-processed regex objects for near-instant matching.
