Apply a profile to tabs or tab groups

Use tab conditions when a profile should affect selected browser tabs instead of every matching tab.

Current tab

  1. Open the target tab.
  2. Add Tab IDs to the profile.
  3. Select or add the current tab.
  4. Verify the rule in that tab and in a second tab.

Use Excluded tab IDs to apply a rule everywhere except selected tabs.

Tab group

  1. Put the target tabs in a Chrome tab group.
  2. Add Tab groups to the profile.
  3. Grant the optional Tab Groups permission.
  4. Select the group.
  5. Add or remove a tab from the browser group and verify that Headerly updates the rule.

Browser restart clears selections

Selections saved under Tab IDs and Tab groups are cleared when the browser restarts. Chrome only guarantees tab and tab-group IDs within the current browser session, so this is a browser limitation, not a Headerly limitation.

Headerly automatically pauses any profile that had an active tab or tab-group condition before the restart. This prevents the profile from unexpectedly applying to more tabs after its saved selection is cleared. Select the tabs or groups again before resuming the profile.

See Tab IDs and Tab groups.
