  description

  **Take control of your browser clutter.**
  
  ChromeTreeBar is a powerful, privacy-first side panel extension that transforms how you manage your Chrome tabs. By organizing your tabs into a hierarchical, drag-and-drop tree structure, ChromeTreeBar makes navigating dozens (or hundreds) of open tabs effortless and visually intuitive.
  
  ## Key Features
  
  🌳 **Tree Style Hierarchy**
  Say goodbye to the top tab bar overflowing. ChromeTreeBar displays all your open tabs in a clean, vertical list. You can nest tabs under other tabs by dragging and dropping them, creating a structured hierarchy that mirrors your workflow.
  
  ✨ **Native Chrome Tab Groups Integration**
  Do you use Chrome's native Tab Groups? ChromeTreeBar natively supports them! Your colored Tab Groups appear seamlessly in the tree. You can drag tabs in and out of groups, create new groups, or change group colors directly from the sidebar.
  
  🔖 **Integrated Bookmarks**
  Your Chrome Bookmarks are available right alongside your active tabs. Access your saved pages quickly, search through them, and open them in new or current tabs with a simple right-click.
  
  🔎 **Instant Search**
  Looking for that one article you opened 2 hours ago? Use the built-in search bar to instantly filter your open tabs and bookmarks by title or URL.
  
  🖱️ **Advanced Context Menu**
  Right-click any tab or group to unlock powerful actions:
  - Duplicate tabs or open them in new windows
  - Close a tab *along with all its nested children* simultaneously
  - Add multiple selected tabs to a new color-coded group
  - Pin/unpin tabs with ease
  - Open entire folders of bookmarks at once
  
  ⚡ **Multi-Select Support**
  Hold `Ctrl`/`Cmd` or `Shift` to select multiple tabs at once. You can drag and drop entire branches of tabs, or close them all with a single click.
  
  ## Privacy First, Always
  Your browsing data belongs to you. ChromeTreeBar operates **entirely locally** within your browser. 
  - **No accounts required**
  - **No data is uploaded to external servers**
  - **No analytics tracking**
  All your customized tree structures and group settings are saved securely using Chrome's local storage API directly on your device.

  **Permissions Justification:**
  *ChromeTreeBar requires permissions (`tabs`, `tabGroups`, `bookmarks`, `sidePanel`, `storage`, and host permissions) strictly to function. These permissions allow the extension to read your tab titles/URLs, display favicons, manipulate native Tab Groups, and save your custom hierarchy locally.*
