  Stop tab clutter! Automatically open Zendesk links in your existing tab instead of creating new ones.
  
  TabGrab is the essential productivity tool for Zendesk agents. It automatically detects when you click a link to a Zendesk ticket, user, or view, and opens it in your already open agent tab. No more ending the day with 50 duplicate Zendesk tabs open!
  
  🚀 Modernized for 2026
  This is a modernized, secure, and privacy-focused fork of the original "Zendesk QuickTab" extension. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be faster, lighter, and compatible with the latest Chrome security standards (Manifest V3).
  
  Key Features:
  🚫 Stop Tab Clutter: Automatically closes redundant tabs and loads the content in your main workspace.
  ⚡ Instant Focus: Clicking a ticket link instantly switches you to your active Zendesk tab.
  🔒 Privacy First: Runs 100% locally on your machine. No tracking, no analytics, no data collection.
  ⚙️ Customizable:
  - All agent links: Manage every Zendesk link (tickets, views, admin pages).
  - Just ticket links: Only manage ticket links, leave other pages alone.
  - No links (disabled): Need to open multiple tabs for a moment? Toggle it off with one click from the popup menu.
  
  How it works:
  1. You have Zendesk open in one tab.
  2. You click a link to a ticket (e.g., from an email, Slack, or another tool).
  3. TabGrab sees the new tab opening, grabs the URL, and sends it to your existing Zendesk tab.
  4. The new tab closes, and your existing tab focuses instantly.

  Stop Zendesk tab clutter. TabGrab opens Zendesk links in your existing agent tab instead of leaving duplicate tabs all over your browser.
  
  When you click a Zendesk ticket, user, request, or agent link, TabGrab finds your open Zendesk workspace, routes the link there, focuses that tab, and closes the duplicate. It keeps your browser cleaner and makes it faster to move through support work.
  
  Features:
  - Reuse your existing Zendesk tab
  - Automatically close duplicate Zendesk tabs
  - Focus your active workspace instantly
  
  Chose between:
  - All agent links
  - Just ticket links
  - No links (disabled)
  - Runs locally with no analytics or tracking
  - Limited to Zendesk domains only
