Tab groups

Tab-group conditions are a synchronized form of Tab ID conditions. Instead of selecting individual tabs, select a Chrome tab group. Headerly applies the profile to the tabs currently in that group and keeps the effective tab selection synchronized with the browser group.

tabGroups

The rule includes tabs in the selected groups.

excludedTabGroups

The rule excludes tabs in the selected groups.

When tabs are added to, removed from, or moved between selected groups, Headerly automatically updates which tabs the profile applies to.

Lifetime

Removing a selected group removes it from the condition. If no selected tabs remain, Headerly disables the profile.

Browser restart clears selections

Selections saved under Tab IDs and Tab groups are cleared when the browser restarts. Chrome only guarantees these 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.

Permission

Selecting a group requires the optional tabGroups permission.

See the Chrome Tab Groups API.
