Why develop this new vertical tab manager?

There are three reasons why I develop this Chrome extension:

1. firstly, I opened to many tabs and windows in Chrome. It’s hard to switch into the new tabs because there is no space show the tab at top. And it’s hard to check the tabs I opened several months.
2. then, there are so many tabs manager extensions I found, but they used Chrome side panel technique. The operation of toggling the side panel is not smooth. And the minimal width of side panel takes a lot of space.
3. finally, AI empowered my technique. I asked GPT build the first version of vTab in 1hour 52mins.

Q&A

1. What permissions are required and why those permissions are needed? || 需要哪些权限以及为什么需要那些权限？

The permissions are required and why:

• tabs : to know the tabs you opened, and manage tabs (check, switch, freeze, close, new, search, etc.);
• tabGroups : to filter tabs by tab groups;
• activeTab : to know currently active tab you are using;
• storage : to save settings and data of vTab;
• scripting : to inject the vTab in your tabs when installed;

Data security statement: All your personal data and content browsed are NOT uploaded or saved in the cloud.

Chinese version: 权限及用途：

• tabs : 用于读取你打开的标签页及管理各个标签页 （查看、切换、冻结、关闭、新建、搜索…）;
• tabGroups : 用于按标签组过滤的功能;
• activeTab : 用于你当前正使用的标签页;
• storage : 用于本地保存 vTab 的设置项和其他数据;
• scripting : 用于在安装后将 vTab 显示在你的各个标签页中;

数据安全申明：你的所有个人数据和浏览内容均没有上传或保存在云端。

2. 为什么弹出「增强型安全浏览功能不信任此扩展程序」提醒？应该如何处理？

因为我是一个新的 Chrome extension 开发人员，还没有被列入 Chrome Web Store 开发人员计划政策，我所开发的所有插件都会出现此弹窗以提醒用户谨慎使用，但这并不代表 vTab 有问题，vTab 所有代码开源，欢迎监督，并且也有很多前端开发人员在使用 vTab，没有任何秘密代码，请放心使用。

在安装 vTab 过程中碰到此提醒，请放心点击「继续安装」 Continue to install。
