Tab Shelf

---

Please note that a show-stopper bug was found during the version 2025.2.0 review process. The changes in this version are included with version 2025.2.1, which includes bug fixes for sub-menu rendering and cross-window focus.

New features

• Added option to add a tab to a group by dropping it on the group header.
• Added options to optimize Tab Shelf for other browsers (officially supported browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi).
• Added ability to set a custom window name and color.
• Added ‘New tab in group’ and ‘Scroll to top of group’ buttons at the end of tab groups. This also gives a space to drop a tab or link to append it to the end of a group.
• Uplifted duplicate tab handling:
  • Added option to automatically detect and delete duplicate tabs. This is actually two options - only delete the duplicate tab if the duplicate is in the same window, or delete the duplicate tab if the duplicate is in either the current or any other open window.
  • Added option to disable duplicate detection completely (this improves performance).
  • The Action Bar will now be replaced with a single button to delete all duplicate tabs when filtering by duplicate tabs.
• Re-designed Welcome/Onboarding flow for new users. This new experience has been narrowed down to a single page, and will focus on customization.

Improvements

• Replaced ‘Hide tab URLs’ option with more obvious tab list density option (pick between ‘Comfortable’ and ‘Compact’ modes). Compact mode has also been updated to make tab group and window headers compact.
• Tab search will now search across all windows by default.
• Overhauled tab and tab group drag-and-drop to be more predictable and consistent.
• Improved window header visibility when filtering by all windows.
• Re-designed tab group renaming and color picker in the tab list.
• Added more event notifications for tab grouping, duplicate detection/deletion, and saving groups or windows. Event notifications can now be completely disabled via settings.
• Overhauled session caching to make tab list loading/filtering more performant.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue where Tab Shelf is always in dark mode (only in Edge).
• Fixed multiple drag-and-drop issues:
  • Fixed issue where dropping a tab at the start of a tab group doesn’t add the tab to the group.
  • Fixed issue where dragging and dropping a tab from the bottom to a point further up in the tab list misplaces the tab position.
  • Fixed issue where drag-and-drop hints for pinned tabs only appear as a dot.
  • Fixed issue where dropping a group in the tab list spacer (empty space at the end of the list) of another window does not move the group to the window.
• Fixed issue where shift-clicking to select multiple tabs also includes active tabs from other windows to the selection.
• Fixed issue where pinned tabs obstruct tab context menus (when animations are disabled).
• Fixed issue where copying saved tab group or window URLs did not copy the URLs to the clipboard.
• Fixed issue where tab URL font size did not scale with the font size setting.
• Fixed issue where opening Tab Shelf during session restore (where dozens of tabs may be loading at one go) might cause the browser to freeze.
• Fixed issue where newly created tab groups would be assigned the wrong color.
