Settings

The Settings page gathers the global preferences that are not tied to a specific rule. It is built around three sections.

Three independent toggles. Each one controls a kind of system notification, with no interaction between them.

ToggleEffect
Notify when tabs are automatically groupedShows a notification on every group creation, with the group’s title.
Notify when duplicates are automatically closedShows a notification on every deduplication, with an Undo button available for 5 seconds.
Notify after Organize TabsShows a summary after an Organize tabs command triggered from the home page or the popup.

Two settings that fine-tune the global deduplication.

When this toggle is on, tabs on domains you have not configured are deduplicated in Exact URL mode. When off (default), only domains covered by a rule can be deduplicated.

Domain rules remain authoritative over this setting. A domain with an explicit rule always follows its rule.

The strategy that decides which of the two duplicate tabs survives. Four values:

StrategyBehavior
The existing tabThe already-open tab is kept. Useful to preserve state (scroll, form, session).
The newly opened tabThe new tab survives. Heads-up: if the old one was in a group, it disappears from the group.
Grouped tab wins, otherwise keep existingIf one of the two is grouped and the other is not, the grouped one survives. Otherwise falls back to The existing tab.
Grouped tab wins, otherwise keep the new one (default)If one of the two is grouped and the other is not, the grouped one survives. Otherwise falls back to The newly opened tab. Protects tabs restored from a session from being closed in favor of an ungrouped copy.

See Deduplicate for the full context.

This section configures what a click on the main Restore button of a session or a profile does. The dropdown next to the button always exposes the four options individually.

ValueBehavior of the main click
Restore in current window (default)Adds the tabs to the currently foregrounded window.
Restore in new windowOpens a new dedicated window and restores the tabs there.
Replace tabs in current windowCloses the current window’s tabs and restores those of the session in their place.
Customized restorationOpens the restore wizard and lets you pick case by case.

The four targets remain reachable via the keyboard shortcuts (R, Shift+R, Alt+R, Alt+Shift+R) on a focused session or profile, no matter the value of this setting.
