greduan / chrome-ext-tabulator Goto Github PK

Hey, I've been wanting to build a OneTab clone to get my feet wet with Browser Extension building for quite a while now, but of course I never got around to it. And now I stumbled upon yours - love it!

Now, I'm not sure whether Chrome extensions can even have permissions do write to the user's file directories, but since OneTab lost everybody's tabs during some Chrome Update like a year ago, I've been weary of trusting it again, or when using it, manually doing copy-paste backups constantly.

It would be great if there was an option to automatically store a backup list/file of your tabs somewhere on your disk. That way people could also choose to sync their devices via open source tools like nextcloud and syncthing as a bonus.

A .github-actions.yml could publish the extension to the Chrome Web Store e.g. when Pull Requests are merged to the configred branch?

The greduan branch now has the latest changes of luckyshot.

Just one thing left to do @greduan , as the owner you need to update the project description from:

Like OneTab but leaner and FOSS - UNMAINTAINED, SEE README

to:

Tabulator is a free Google Chrome extension that helps reduce tab clutter and memory usage by saving all your open tabs into lists which can be restored at another time

But please, there's no hurry... Enjoy your holidays and we'll catch up when you get back! 🏖

Labels that could be added to this project:

Would be good to work towards making this extension also available on Firefox (and any other WebExtensions-compatible browser).

Since now Chrome and Firefox both support WebExtensions, this shouldn't be too problematic. Other than the global objects containing the APIs are named differently IIRC.

For accessibility reasons, a dark mode would be more usable.

There's a prefers-color-scheme CSS feature that could be utilized in https://github.com/greduan/chrome-ext-tabulator/blob/master/src/base.css ::

I love this exention, but is there any way to add sync across multiple devices for the compressed tabs?
eg, https://github.com/cnwangjie/better-onetab . This extension has sync across multiple devices
