Vertical tab groups with tab searching.

Power Tabs - Vertical tab groups with tab searching

Power Tabs is a re-imagination of the old Tab Groups extension combined with vertical tabs. It enables you to see tabs in a vertical manner via sidebar, automatically hide tabs that don't belong in the active group, and use a powerful Quick Switcher feature to fuzzy search tabs with keyboard navigation. It also allows you to sort tabs, assign a domain to always open in a specified group, and more.
