    description
    Chrome の固定タブはウィンドウ単位で管理されるため、新しいウィンドウを開くと消えてしまいます。Gmail、カレンダー、Slack、社内ダッシュボードなど、常に開いておきたいタブがあるたびに毎回固定し直すのは、小さいけれど確実にストレスの溜まる作業です。
    
    Persistent Pinned Tabs はこの問題を解決します。URL を一度登録しておけば、新しく開くすべての Chrome ウィンドウで、それらが自動的に固定タブとして展開されます。
    
    ■ 主な機能
    
    ・自動展開
      新規ウィンドウを開くと、登録された URL が自動的に固定タブとして表示されます。手動での操作は不要です。
    
    ・プロファイルごとに独立した設定
      仕事用プロファイルと個人用プロファイルで、異なる URL リストを保持できます。データは chrome.storage.local で管理されるため、プロファイル間で混ざりません。
    
    ・ワンクリックで ON/OFF
      ポップアップのトグルスイッチで、自動展開を一時停止できます。URL リストを削除せず、機能だけ止めたい場合に便利です。
    
    ・起動時のセッション復元と競合しない
      Chrome の「前回開いていたページを開く」設定と併用しても、起動時に固定タブが二重に展開されることはありません。起動から数秒間のウィンドウは「セッション復元由来」と自動判定して処理をスキップします。
    
    ・重複展開の自動回避
      既に同じ URL のタブがウィンドウ内に存在する場合、その URL は新たに開かれません。
    
    ■ 使い方
    
    1. ツールバーの拡張機能アイコンをクリック
    2.「現在のタブを追加」ボタン、または URL を直接入力して登録
    3. 新しい Chrome ウィンドウを開くと、登録したタブが固定タブとして自動的に展開されます
    
    ■ 権限について
    
    この拡張機能は必要最小限の権限のみを要求します。
    
    ・tabs: 新規ウィンドウに固定タブを作成するため
    ・storage: URL リストと設定を端末内に保存するため
    
    ホスト権限(<all_urls>)は一切要求しません。閲覧履歴やページの中身、Cookie にはアクセスしません。
    
    ■ プライバシー
    
    すべてのデータは chrome.storage.local を使って利用者の端末内にのみ保存されます。外部サーバーへの通信、アナリティクス、テレメトリ、広告トラッキングは一切行いません。開発者もユーザーのデータにアクセスできません。
    
    ■ オープンソース
    
    本拡張機能のソースコードは GitHub で公開されています。コードの内容を確認したうえでインストールできます。
    
    ■ こんな人におすすめ
    
    ・毎日開くツール(Gmail、カレンダー、Slack、Notion 等)が決まっている人
    ・複数の Chrome ウィンドウを使い分ける人
    ・仕事用・個人用でプロファイルを切り替えて使う人
    ・シンプルで必要最小限の権限しか要求しない拡張機能を好む人
    AnchorTab lets you save Chrome's tab groups and pinned (anchor) tabs as named profiles and restore them into any window on demand. It is built for people who switch between distinct workspace setups — work, research, personal — and want their groupings, colors, and pinned tabs to come back exactly as left.
    
    ■ What it does
    
    • Save and restore tab groups
      Group name, color, collapsed state, and order are preserved and reproduced faithfully in another window.
    
    • First-class anchor (pinned) tabs
      Chrome's native pinned tabs are stored in profiles and recreated as pinned on apply.
    
    • Multiple named profiles
      Create as many profiles as you need — Work, Research, Personal — each tagged Normal or Incognito. Set a default per mode for one-click restore.
    
    • JSON export / import
      Export your full profile set to a JSON file and import it on another machine. Name collisions are resolved per-profile (Overwrite / Suffix / Skip).
    
    • Tri-state new-window behavior
      Choose how AnchorTab reacts when you open a new window:
      - Auto-open the popup
      - Show a badge only (profile count on the action icon)
      - Off
    
    • Additive apply with a transparency report
      Existing tabs in the window are preserved; AnchorTab adds the profile's content alongside them. URLs that cannot be opened (chrome://, etc.) are skipped and reported with their count.
    
    • One profile = one active window
      Prevents accidentally double-applying the same profile across windows. If a profile is already active elsewhere, AnchorTab offers a Focus existing window action.
    
    • Bilingual UI
      English and Japanese are both fully supported, switched by your Chrome language preference.
    
    ■ Privacy
    
    • No data is collected, transmitted, or sent anywhere.
    • All profile data lives in chrome.storage.local on your device.
    • No cloud sync. Cross-device transfer is via JSON export/import only.
    • Required permissions: tabs, storage, tabGroups. No host permissions.
    
    ■ Who it's for
    
    • Professionals who switch between work contexts using tab groups
    • Researchers and writers with reusable link sets per investigation
    • Anyone who wants to keep a personal tab setup separate from work
    
    ■ Limitations
    
    • Ungrouped tabs (tabs not in any group) are not stored. By design.
    • Only URLs are saved per tab. Scroll position, form input, and session state are not preserved.
    • Browser-internal URLs (chrome://) are skipped on apply.
    • A profile can be active in only one window at a time.
