Auto Group Tabs

About

Auto Group Tabs automatically organizes your Chrome tabs by website. Set simple rules (e.g. "put GitHub in 'Work'"), and matching tabs are grouped as you browse—no manual dragging. Perfect for staying organized when you have many tabs open.

Why use Auto Group Tabs?

• Save time — Tabs group themselves. No more hunting through dozens of tabs or dragging them one by one.
• Stay in control — You choose which sites go into which groups and which group names and colors to use.
• Works the way you browse — Rules run in the background. Open a tab, it loads, and it’s grouped if it matches a rule.
• Lightweight and private — No account, no servers. Your rules and tab group settings stay only on your device.

What it does

Auto Group Tabs uses Chrome’s built-in tab groups. You create groups (e.g. "Work", "Social", "Shopping") and add rules that map domains to those groups. When a tab’s URL matches a rule, the extension puts that tab into the right group automatically.

• Create tab groups — Name them and pick a color (grey, blue, red, yellow, green, pink, purple, cyan, orange).
• Add domain rules — Enter a domain like example.com or *.example.com and choose which group those tabs should go into.
• Domain only or all subdomains — Match just example.com or every subdomain (mail.example.com, docs.example.com, etc.) with one rule.
• Quick add from the popup — Add a rule for the site you’re on with one click, or open the full options page to manage all groups and rules.

How to get started

1. Install the extension and open the options page (right‑click the icon → Options) or use the popup.
2. Create one or more tab groups (e.g. "Work", "Reading").
3. Add rules: type a domain, choose "Domain only" or "All subdomains", and select the group.
4. Open or reload a tab that matches a rule—it will move into that group automatically.

Who it’s for

• Anyone with many tabs who wants them organized by site or project.
• People who use Chrome tab groups and want automation instead of manual grouping.
• Researchers, developers, and power users who keep multiple sites open and want a clean tab bar.
