Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1343

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Floccus does not take groups of tabs into account.

Is it possible to store and sync groups in Chrome-based browsers?

Describe the solution you'd like

Add level of group folders under "Window {Num}" folder. Sync and add tabs into groups when pulled.

Describe alternatives you've considered

My current workaround: move each group to new window then sync.

Mh, that's tough as Firefox doesn't support tab groups, AFAIK

Hi,
Firefox does not natively support tab groups, but it supports tabs containers (which is more isolation than grouping, but still).
However, a lot of extensions provide similar features (eg. sidebery has two notions of groups: panes and groups, and a notion of tree structure, but not sure it has an API for it, TreeStyleTabs offers a tree structure too, with an API)
Though, I probably wouldn't like to maintain compatibility with all addons providing some kind of grouping features 😅

Hey folks, I found this after discovering the hard way that Floccus does not support tab groups. In fact, it just deleted most of my tab groups and added all open tabs to the group I had an open tab in.

I was so incredibly happy when I found Floccus, I love it! There is virtually nothing out there that supports cross browser or cross platform syncing.

its a real bummer for me as I make extensive use of tab groups. I have (well, had untill just now ;) ) a dozen groups with more than 50 open tabs. I use ungoogled-chromium with memory saver and energy saver active.

Perhaps its something you can support for chromium based browsers first, and extend the feature to other browsers like FIrefox in later development cycles?

Only one thing I can do which is disable tab syncing which is too bad really.

In any case, I love the bookmark syncing, so thanks for that! Its awesome! 😄

BTW, Google has recently implemented "Save Group" option - discussed on this Google Chrome Help topic.

This does not help though, - the corresponding buttons appear on the bookmark bar, but they are not bookmarks.

awesome! Tab groups don't seem to be accessible in extensions yet, though 🤔
