TabWrangler Bridge

In short, the TabWrangler extension is a sort of companion app designed to supplement functionality presented to the user through applications like StreamDeck, LoupeDeck and Touch Portal. All of these platforms present a series action oriented buttons that a user can customize for day to day use. In the case of TabWrangler, a user might design a button that does something as simple as “open a website” or as complex as “open a website on my work profile, but only if some form of it is not already open; if it is, just focus that tab instead”. There are many such scenarios that might be helpful to users of TabWrangler. Finally, TabWrangler also transmits “browser state” to any of the above “button platforms”. This allows for more complex button definitions that may also take browser events into consideration. This means that when certain events occur in the browser (e.g. new tab, tab focus, close tab, etc) data is sent to the users “button platform”. For instance, it might be useful to have a button that has a variable set of actions like “do some action from an unrelated plugin, but only if some specific tab has focus, otherwise, do this other action”.
