What's Changed

Video Walkthrough of the new interface: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6x5qI6wp9M

  • Added an "Open Tabs" section to the options page that lists tabs from all windows.
  • Features: search/filter, sortable columns (Title, URL, Window), per-tab "Add" button, "Add All Tabs" and "Refresh Tabs".
  • Window names are derived from each window's active tab title for easier identification.
  • UI/Files affected: src/tab.html, src/tab.js, src/tab.css.
  • Removed persistent identity permission from the manifest; identity is now requested on-demand (via runtime request) or surfaced as a CTA to open Chrome People/Sync settings.
  • Added a Permissions panel to the options page showing declared and granted permissions with short descriptions.
  • Added background service worker (background.js) to handle the keyboard command for adding the current page.
  • Changed suggested keyboard shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+Y (and platform equivalents) to avoid conflicts; remind users they can reassign under chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  • Manifest now includes the "tabs" permission required for the new Open Tabs UI.
  • UI/Files affected: src/manifest.json, src/tab.html, src/tab.js, src/tab.css, src/background.js.
  • Fixed a small syntax bug in download JSON generation (missing parenthesis) that prevented the options script from executing.
  • Minor UX tweaks: "Clear saved links" button wired to the existing clear handler and the saved/tabs lists refresh after clearing.
  • Fix button count upper threshold display by @Inego in #29
  • Fix ellipsis and improve link UI by @LasyIsLazy in #34
