When you open a bookmark from the sidebar, we automatically create a **"Link"**. - **Avoid Tab Clutter**: Click the link icon next to a bookmark to see all tabs opened from it, helping you avoid opening duplicates and saving system resources. - **Two-Way Sync**: When a tab is closed, the bookmark status updates automatically; when a bookmark is deleted, the linked tab is handled intelligently. - **Visual Feedback**: A refined link icon appears next to bookmarks, letting you know at a glance which ones are currently active. ### ⚡️ Smart Rendering Have thousands of bookmarks? No problem! - **Dynamic Rendering**: Switched from Virtual Scrolling to an efficient Dynamic Rendering mechanism, ensuring smooth performance with better compatibility. - **Smooth Experience**: Navigate through large bookmark libraries effortlessly without lag. ### 🪟 Cross-Window Management - **Window Overview**: View tabs from all open Chrome windows directly in the sidebar, not just the current one. - **Global Search**: Search results include tabs from all windows, allowing for instant navigation across your entire session. ### 🔍 Professional Grade Search Don't just search—find instantly. - **Multi-Keyword Filtering**: Supports space-separated keywords (e.g., "google docs work") for precise targeting. - **Domain Search**: Type a domain (like `github.com`) to instantly filter tabs and bookmarks from specific sources. - **Smart Highlighting**: Real-time highlighting of matched keywords keeps your visual focus clear. ### 🗂️ Unified Workspace - **Vertical Tabs**: View full page titles, no longer compressed into tiny icons. - **Native Group Support**: Perfectly integrates with Chrome Tab Groups, syncing colors and names. - **Custom Window Naming**: Assign custom names to your windows (e.g., "Work", "Personal") for clearer context. - **Drag & Drop**: Intuitive management—move items effortlessly between tabs, groups, and bookmark folders. - **Drag to Save**: Drag a tab into the bookmarks area to save it instantly; drag a bookmark to the tabs area to open it. - **Reading List & RSS**: Your personal hub for article curation. Sync with the native Chrome Reading List, subscribe to RSS feeds, and manage everything in one place with smart deduplication and sorting. ### 🎨 Premium Design & Customization - **Custom Background Image**: Personalize your workspace! Upload your own image or use a URL. Fine-tune it with adjustable **opacity** and **blur** for the perfect look. - **Revamped Settings UI**: Enjoy a modern, organized settings panel with a new **Accordion layout**, making it easier than ever to configure your sidebar. - **Custom Theme Colors**: Go beyond presets.
