About Tab Reuse Manager

Tab Reuse Manager ## Short Description (132 char max) Reuse existing tabs for configurable website groups — prevent duplicates and reduce tab clutter. ## Detailed Description Stop drowning in duplicate tabs! Tab Reuse Manager intelligently reuses existing tabs when you navigate between related websites. 🔧 HOW IT WORKS Define groups of related apps (e.g., Zoho Mail, Cliq, Calendar). When you click a link from one app to another in the same group, the extension reuses the existing tab instead of opening a duplicate. ✅ KEY FEATURES • Define custom groups of related URL patterns • Wildcard pattern matching (e.g., https://*.zoho.com/*) • Enable/disable groups individually • Import/export configuration as JSON • Ships with a ready-to-use Zoho Apps preset • Zero data collection — fully private 📋 EXAMPLE You have Zoho Mail, Calendar, and Cliq open. You click a Calendar link from Mail → instead of a new tab, your existing Calendar tab is updated. Clean and simple. ⚙️ CONFIGURATION Right-click the extension icon → Options to set up your groups. Each group has a name, a list of URL patterns, and an on/off toggle. 🔒 PRIVACY This extension stores only your group configuration locally. No browsing data is collected, transmitted, or shared. See the privacy policy for details.
