Interface tour

SmartTab Organizer exposes two main surfaces: the popup, reachable from the toolbar, and the Options page, opened in a dedicated tab.

Right after install, the popup shows an empty state: no rules configured, statistics at zero.

From this screen you reach the grouping and deduplication toggles, the global statistics, and the Options pages to configure the rest.

The popup is documented in detail in Guide: Popup.

The Options page is built around six main sections, reachable from the left sidebar.

SectionPurpose
HomeLanding page, aggregates pinned profiles, quick actions and mini-statistics. See The home page.
Domain RulesCreate, edit and organize the rules that drive grouping and deduplication. See Domain Rules.
SessionsCapture a snapshot of the open tabs, edit it, or restore a previous one. Archived sub-tab for sessions set aside. See Sessions.
WorkspacesIsolate rules, sessions and statistics per context. See Workspaces.
StatisticsTrack grouping and deduplication activity over time. See Statistics.
Import / ExportBack up or restore your configuration and sessions as JSON. See Import / Export.

The Options page footer hosts a workspace switcher (WorkspaceSwitcherDropdown) that lets you change workspace at any moment. The same switcher is available in the popup.

The left sidebar is the main navigation of the Options page: the six sections above are reachable from it, and the active section is highlighted. On a narrow window, the sidebar can be collapsed to give the content more room; expand it again from the same toggle. Its state is remembered across visits.

A theme toggle in the header switches between light and dark. The choice is remembered and applies to every surface of the extension (popup and Options page).

When one of the two global toggles (grouping or deduplication) is off, a badge appears on the extension’s icon in the toolbar:

BadgeMeaning
(none)Grouping and deduplication active. Everything is running.
Orange GGlobal grouping is off.
Orange DGlobal deduplication is off.
Red XBoth toggles are off; the extension does nothing.

The G and D badges share the same orange color: only the letter changes to tell you which toggle is off.

You can disable the badge from the Settings page.
