description

Comet Workspaces is a power-user workspace manager for the Comet browser. Save the exact state of a browser window — every tab, every pinned tab, every tab group — and restore it on demand. Built for people who juggle multiple client contexts, projects, or research threads in parallel.

What's new in v1.14.0
Favicons are now cached locally when a workspace is captured, with a generated letter-tile fallback when a favicon cannot be fetched. The previous build rendered favicons through Chrome's built-in service, which routed every workspace URL through Google's favicon endpoint when the popup opened. v1.14.0 keeps your workspace URLs entirely local.
Key features
Save any browser window as a named workspace, including pinned tabs and tab groups. Live-link a workspace to its window so subsequent edits sync automatically (window close, restart, tab adds and removes — all captured). Restore any workspace into a new window with one click, with a confirmation dialog so accidental clicks do not blow away your current session.
Tag workspaces (up to eight tags, lowercase, de-duplicated) and filter the list with #tag search. Drag to reorder workspaces manually — useful when live-linked workspaces would otherwise float to the top of an updated-at sort.
Inline rename by double-clicking a workspace name. Keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Shift+W to open the popup, Alt+Shift+S to save, Alt+Shift+O to open) keep your hands on the keyboard. Restore in suspended mode to bring back a large workspace without immediately loading every tab.
Storage is local. Workspaces persist across browser restarts via chrome.storage.local, with an auto-sharded index that scales to several hundred workspaces without hitting Chrome's per-key storage limits.
Keyboard shortcuts

Alt+Shift+W — open the popup
Alt+Shift+S — save current window as a workspace (or update the linked workspace)
Alt+Shift+O — open the most recent workspace

Privacy
Comet Workspaces does not send your tabs, URLs, titles, or any workspace data to any external server. All data is stored in chrome.storage.local on your device. The extension does not include analytics, telemetry, or remote configuration. From v1.14.0 onwards, favicon rendering is also fully local.
Compatibility
Built as a Manifest V3 extension for the Comet browser (a Chromium fork). Works in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers that support the same APIs.

v1.18.1 — Settings & guide, faster finding, and reliability fixes.
• New Settings & Guide page — confirm-before-open, show/hide site icons, search auto-focus, a configurable backup reminder, and a plain-English guide. Open it from the gear in the popup footer.
• Search by site — the search box now matches the sites a workspace contains, not just its name and tags.
• Site icons in the list — each workspace shows a cluster of coloured site tiles for quick recognition.
• Full keyboard control — arrow keys move through the list, Enter opens, Delete removes; search is focused on open.
• Accessibility — visible focus rings and reduced-motion support.
• Reliability fixes — restored workspaces no longer open as blank tabs; pinned tabs, manual order, and the active tab save reliably; removed a source of console errors.
• The version number now shows in the popup header.

Save and restore browser workspaces with tabs, pinned state, and tab groups. Edge Workspaces-style for any Chromium browser.

Now upgrade to v2.0. Improved session management, maintains persistence across browser crashes, improved UX.

Comet Workspaces lets you save your entire browser window — every tab, pin, and tab group — as a named workspace you can restore in one click.
Switch between projects without losing your place. Save your "Client Research" tabs before jumping into "Sprint Planning", then bring either back exactly as you left it — pinned tabs in place, groups intact, even the tab you were looking at.

HOW IT WORKS
Click "Save current" to snapshot your window's tabs into a named workspace
Click any workspace to open it in a fresh window with everything restored
Link a window for live sync — changes auto-save as you browse
Overwrite, rename, or delete workspaces from the popup

WHAT GETS SAVED
All open tab URLs and titles
Pinned tab state (restored in correct order)
Tab groups with names, colours, and collapsed state
Which tab was active when you saved

DESIGNED FOR SPEED
Instant save and restore — no cloud servers, no account required
Data stays in Chrome Sync storage (syncs across your signed-in devices)
Tiny footprint — no content scripts, no background network requests
Glassmorphism UI that feels native to modern Chromium browsers

PRIVACY
Comet Workspaces reads your tab URLs solely to save and restore them. No data is sent anywhere — everything stays in your browser's built-in sync storage. No analytics, no tracking, no remote servers. The extension requests only the permissions it needs: tabs, tabGroups, storage, and windows.
Built by Kyt in Wellington, New Zealand.
Privacy Practices (for Developer Dashboard)
Single Purpose
Save, restore, and manage browser tab workspaces.

Permission Justifications
tabs: Read tab URLs, titles, and pinned state to save workspace snapshots and restore them.
tabGroups: Read and restore tab group metadata (name, colour, collapsed state).
storage: Persist workspace data in chrome.storage.sync for cross-device availability.
windows: Create new windows when restoring workspaces; detect current window for save/link operations.

Data Use Disclosures
We do NOT collect or transmit any user data.
We do NOT use remote code.
Tab URLs are stored locally in chrome.storage.sync (Google's built-in encrypted sync) and never sent to any external server.
No analytics, telemetry, or third-party services.
