Tab Shelf 2025.2.2 is now available on the Chrome Web Store (still pending review on Edge Extensions at the time of posting).
This release focuses on fixing a performance regression and squashing bugs around tab group customization.
Some new features and improvements were also introduced - namely custom click actions on tabs and tab group headers (double click and middle click), a redesigned and easier to navigate settings menu, and expanded customization options for the appearance of tab groups.
New features
- Added the option to set custom actions when double-clicking a tab, and when middle-clicking tabs, tab group headers, and window headers. You can now set these click actions to mute, sleep, or select tabs/tab groups/windows (amongst a variety of other actions).
Improvements
- Redesigned the Settings menu with a simple drill-down menu style. This means you will no longer be presented all of Tab Shelf’s settings at one-go by default. This also makes finding specific settings much more convenient as you no longer need to carefully scroll through the menu.
- Replaced the option to hide outlines around tab groups with a more comprehensive tab group appearance setting. This lets you choose between showing both the outline and shaded background, just the shaded background, or just the outline.
- Added the option to hide the auto-sleep block icon when a tab is manually set to never auto-sleep.
- Added an FAQ to section (which can be found in the Settings menu) which addresses common questions or feedback received.
Bug fixes
- Reduced repeated duplicate tab detection notifications.
- Fixed performance regression caused by more aggressive duplicate tab detection. Tab filtering and search should also be faster as a result.
- Fixed hover and selection background color in tab list.
- Fixed broken tab group renaming modal.
- Fixed non-persistent tab group color mappings (setting a tab group color sometimes doesn’t appear to work, or sometimes the wrong color is mapped to the tab group).
